An Optimized X-Band Photoinjector Design for the LLNL MEGa-Ray Project
We present an optimized 5 + cell, X-band photoinjector designed to produce 7 MeV, 250 pC, sub-micron emittance electron bunches for the LLNL Mono-Energetic Gamma-Ray (MEGa-Ray) light source. This LLNL/SLAC collaboration modifies a design pre viously demonstrated to sustain 200 MV/m on-axis accelerating fields*. We discuss the photoinjector operating point, optimized by scaling beam dynamics from S-band photo-guns and by evaluation of the MEGa-Ray source requirements. The RF structure design i s ...

We present an optimized 5 + cell, X-band photoinjector designed to produce 7 MeV, 250 pC, sub-micron emittance electron bunches for the LLNL Mono-Energetic Gamma-Ray (MEGa-Ray) light source. This LLNL/SLAC collaboration modifies a design pre viously demonstrated to sustain 200 MV/m on-axis accelerating fields*. We discuss the photoinjector operating point, optimized by scaling beam dynamics from S-band photo-guns and by evaluation of the MEGa-Ray source requirements. The RF structure design i s presented along with the current status of the photoinjector construction and testing. Show Partial Abstract
