Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Science, under contracts DE-SC0015191 and DE- AC02-06CH11357 Recently, RadiaBeam has designed and built a robust thermionic RF gun with optimized electromagnetic per-formance, improved thermal engineering, and a robust cathode mounting technique. This gun allows to improve the performance of existing and future light sources, industrial accelerators, and electron beam driven te-rahertz sources. Unlike conventional electrically or side-coupled RF guns, this new gun operates in ’-mode with the help of magnetic coupling holes. Such a design al-lows operation at longer pulses and has negligible dipole and quadrupole components. The gun prototype was built, then installed and tested at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) injector. This paper presents the results of high power and beam tests of this RF gun, and operation-al experience at APS to this moment. |
