CORNELL LABORATORY FOR ACCELERATOR-BASED SCIENCES AND EDUCATION
Please send updates to the agenda to Karl Smolenski, and note that the deadline for proceeding contributions is August 16.
Charge
Gun technology: DC, NCRF, SCRF, hybrids
status reports from JLab, Cornell, BNL/AES, Daresbury, JAEA/KEK, Rossendorf, LANL, BINP, ...
update the gun table: advantage, disadvantages, state-of-the-art, milestones since ERL07, expected required level of continued R&D
Beam dynamics, emittance preservation techniques:
laser pulse shaping techniques
bunch compression techniques
beam manipulation techniques
Technological challenges:
vacuum
field emission
load locked designs
ceramic insulators
HV breakdown
HV power supplies and SF6 tank
photocathode cooling
ion backbombardment and photocathode degradation
cathode survivability in the RF environment
compatibility of various cathode types with cryogenic temperatures (for SRF guns)
RF power couplers
Photocathodes and Lasers:
Update photocathode table: pros/cons, identify appropriate laser wavelength, IR vs Green vs UV, measured QE, necessary laser power for 100mA beam, response time,
Update drive laser table for each photocathode: max available power, approx. cost and complexity, pulse forming mechanism, pulsewidth, etc
