| abstract: | We report the characteristics and performance of the UCLA S-band compact electron accelerator, consisting of a high brightness, 8 cm long, photo-injector with a copper cathode, followed by a 42 cm long plane wave transformer accelerating structure, delivering a beam energy of 10 MeV. The photo-electrons are produced by a 266 nm laser pulse of less than 4 ps in duration. Over time the laser induced electron emission decreases and the emission from the cathode surface becomes structured. Measurements of the quantum efficiency for Cu before and after this degradation are presented along with images of the non uniform electron emission. (8 References). |

| abstract: | Optimum operation of a plasma beat-wave or wakefield accelerator requires an injected beam consisting of a train of electron bunches separated by the plasma wavelength, with each bunch in the train having a length much shorter than the plasma wavelength, and the capability of controlling the relative phase of the electron bunches and plasma wave. The typical plasma wavelength is about 0.1 mm, requiring a bunch length of about 10 to 20 mu m, which is difficult to achieve with conventional RF based injectors. In this paper we describe an electron accelerator-buncher system based on a photoinjector and an FEL, which can satisfy the plasma accelerator requirements. (4 References). |

| abstract: | We report on the initial operation of a novel compact rf linac-the plane wave transformer (PWT). The PWT is a 42 cm long, 8 cell standing-wave structure, operated at S-band, in a pi -mode. We present the properties of this linac at rf power levels from 4 MW to 8 MW and beam energy from 7 MeV to 10 MeV, measured initially using both dark current and photo-electrons. Some technical issues associated with the operation are discussed. Future improvements of the PWT, using a modified design, are also studied. (6 References). |
