Results on the Interaction of an Intense Bunched Electron Beam with Resonant Cavities at 35 Ghz
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Two-Beam Accelerator (TBA) concept is currently being investigated both at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and at CERN. As part of this program, a 7 MeV, 1-kA electron beam produced by the PIVAIR accelerator at CESTA has been used to power a free electron laser (FEL) amplifier at 35 GHz. At the FEL exit, the bunched electron beam is transported and focused into a resonant cavity built by the CLIC group at CERN. The power and frequency of the microwave output generated when the bunched beam traverses two different cavities are measured.

Recent Results from the FEL Driven Two-Beam Accelerator Project at CESTA*
Last year an intense electron beam produced by an induction accelerator was bunched using a Free Electron Laser and used to generate radio-frequency power by its passage through a resonant cavity. An improved version of this experiment has been carried out in the last few months. Our aims were mainly to extract a higher beam current from the FEL and to obtain a longer R-F pulse duration from th...
متن کاملThe FEL Driven Two- Beam Accelerator Studies at CESTA
During the past few years, a demonstration that a free electron laser driven by an induction accelerator can furnish an intense bunched beam for use in a two-beam accelerator has been performed at CESTA. Earlier work, which concentrated on observing bunching by optical means, and the more recent production of R-F power obtained by passing the bunched beam through a standing-wave output cavity w...
متن کاملEfficient harmonic microbunching in a 7th-order inverse-free-electron laser interaction
We have shown that a seventh-order inverse-free-electron laser (IFEL) interaction, where the radiation frequency is the seventh harmonic of the fundamental resonant frequency, can microbunch a beam of relativistic electrons inside an undulator. Using coherent transition radiation (CTR) emitted by the bunched 12.3 MeV beam as a diagnostic, strong microbunching of the beam is inferred from the ob...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of the Effect Of Aftercavity Interaction in a Depressed Collector Gyrotron Oscillator
We present the experimental observation of the effect of an aftercavity interaction (ACI) in a depressed collector gyrotron oscillator. The gyrotron generates an output power of 1.5 MW at 110 GHz in 3 microsecond pulses with a 96 kV and 40 A electron beam and has a single-stage depressed collector. The ACI arises from cyclotron resonant interaction between the microwave beam traveling out from ...
متن کاملSuper-radiance in a prebunched beam free electron maser
It is well known that electrons passing through a magnetic undulator emit partially coherent radiation: `Undulator Synchrotron Radiationa. Radiation from electrons, entering the undulator at random, adds incoherently. If the electron beam is periodically modulated (bunched) to pulses shorter than the radiation wavelength, electrons radiate in phase with each other, resulting in super-radiant em...
