Short wavelength acceleration techniques, e.g. in the THz range, promise high field gradients but suffer from severe phase slippage at non-relativistic particle energies due to the small normalized vector potential that can be realized with these techniques. By combining a compact, amplifier driven S-Band rf gun with an adiabatically tapered dielectric-lined waveguide THz accelerator...
High brightness electron beam is required by several applications in the accelerator physics field, e.g., Plasma Wake Field Acceleration (PWFA) experiments and Free electron Laser (FEL) radiation sources. In order to have a high brightness beam, that means a high current and a low emittance beam, it is important to study, among other things, the beam’s non uniformity due to the non perfect...
