A compact accelerator facility designed to generate high-brightness electron beams is of great demand throughout a broad scientific community as it can be used to generate intense, tunable THz and X-ray radiation beams. The “Advanced Generation of THz and X-ray” (AGTaX) collaboration was created to bring together different communities working on the simulation, generation and experimental...

Oral presentation
A study of the polarization of coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation (cSPr) has been carried out at the LUCX (KEK) facility using an 8 MeV electron beam. Two orthogonal polarizations of the radiation were measured and the degree of polarization was calculated. The experimental result was compared to simulation results calculated using a semi-analytical surface current model. Two dimensional scans...

Preliminary intensity distributions for Smith-Purcell radiation generated by a grating with its period skewed with respect to the propagation direction of the particle beam will be presented. The results have been obtained using the well-established surface current model. An outline of the calculations will be described, along with qualitative descriptions of the radiation distributions...

In this report we present experimental investigations of the THz radiation generated from a corrugated capillary and a blank capillary with reflectors, using a femtosecond electron beam of LUCX accelerator at KEK, Japan. LUCX is capable of generating a train of 4 bunches each with 150 µm (500 fs) duration and 200 µm transverse size. We present measurements of the angular distributions of the...

The coherent radiation generated by a short electron bunches is well studied and finds a broad application for different scientific communities. However, the improvement projects towards the implementation of the compact accelerator system providing the high-charge and ultra short electron bunches are still attractive and open up a new possibility of the high-brightness coherent radiation...

Grating transition radiation (GTR), which is a backward radiation, emitted by electrons interacting with a diffraction grating was first observed at optical wavelength region at 1999 [1].
In this report we present the experimental investigation of spectral and orientation dependences of a coherent GTR (CGTR) in sub-THz wavelength region emitted by a 8 MeV electron at KEK LUCX facility. The...
