Abstract:
A new facility is under construction at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, to generate femto-second electron bunches and intense coherent THz radiation pulses. A thermionic RF-gun is used to be the electron source of the linac, which is 1.6 cell, π2, side coupled in design. In the following of this paper, the design, manufacture and beam operation of this gun are presented.
