Design and Operation of Pegasus Thermionic Cathode
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new thermionic cathode has been developed and installed for use on the PEGASUS plane wave transformer injector. The novel design of the LaB6 cathode allows for thermionic emission as well as photoinjector operation. Both test-stand measurements and in situ operational experience are reported.

The Ucla Pegasus Plane-wave Transformer Photoinjector*
A photoinjector based on a multi-cell plane wave transformer accelerating structure has been commissioned at the UCLA Department of Physics’ PEGASUS Laboratory. Design and construction of the novel structure have been previously reported [J. Rosenzweig, et al. PAC Proceedings 1997], and recent operation with a thermionic cathode is being presented at this conference [P. Frigola, et al. these pr...
متن کاملStatus of the UCLA PEGASUS Laboratory∗
The PEGASUS laboratory is a versatile radiation facility dedicated to the advancement of novel concepts in beam physics. The installation of a new LaB6 cathode will allow for both thermionic emission and photoinjection operation. The PEGASUS plane wave transformer injector has been conditioned to 20 MW of RF power. Recent operations show a 15 MeV dark current beam that will be used for beam rad...
متن کاملOne-dimensional combined field and thermionic emission model and comparison with experimental results
An integrated theoretical model has been developed to predict the entire range of emission from thermionic to field emission, including the mixed emission regime. The model assumes a Sommerfeld free electron model supply function, for which the Fermi-Dirac distribution applies with a nonzero temperature. The electron transmission coefficient is calculated in one dimension using a transfer matri...

Last year a second-generation SSRL-type thermionic cathode rf gun was installed in the Advanced Photon Source (APS) linac. This gun (referred to as “gun2”) has been successfully commissioned and now serves as the main injector for the APS linac, essentially replacing the Koontz-type DC gun. To help ensure injector availability, particularly with the advent of top-up mode operation at the APS, a...
متن کاملAdvanced Thermionic Energy Converters: Enabling Technology for Low Greenhouse Futures
Introduction This research involves the study of the use of diode laser excitation to alter/enhance the production of cesium (Cs) ions in the gap of a Cs-filled ignited (arc) or unignited Thermionic Energy Converter (TEC). Continuous-wave laser energy addition tuned to an excited electronic transition in Cs is used to “inject” ions/plasma at levels sufficient for space-charge neutralization of ...
