  At the PBP-CMU Electron Linac Laboratory (PCELL), we aim to produce a mid-infrared free-electron laser (MIR-FEL) for pump-probe experiments in the future. The electron beam is generated from a thermionic cathode radio-frequency (RF) gun with a 1.5-cell cavity before going to an alpha magnet. In this section, some part of the beam is filtered out by using energy slits. The selected part of the beam is then further accelerated by an RF linear accelerator (linac) to get higher energy. This work focuses on the measurement of energy spectrum of electron beam for producing mid-infrared free-electron laser (MIR-FEL). Since our bunch compressor (BC) for the MIR-FEL beamline is an achromat system, the longitudinal distributions of electron beam at the entrance and the exit of the BC are almost the same. Thus, we can measure the longitidinal properties of the beam before it travels to the BC. By using a dipole magnet and a Faraday cup with a slit, we can measure energy spectrum of electron beam before entering the BC. In this study, the ASTRA code is used to investigate the properties of electron beam as well as to design the measuring system. The design results including systematic error of the measuring system are presented and discussed in this contribution. The results from this work can be used as the guideline for the measuring system construction as well as the beam operation.

  The infrared free-electron laser (IR FEL) project is established at Chiang Mai University in Thailand with the aim to provide experimental stations for users utilizing accelerator-based terahertz (THz) and mid-infrared (MIR) radiation. Main components of the system include a thermionic RF gun, an alpha magnet as a bunch compressor and energy filter, a standing-wave RF linac, a THz transition radiation (THz-TR) station, two magnetic bunch compressors and beamlines for MIR/THz FEL. The system commissioning is ongoing to produce the beams with proper properties. Simulation results suggest that the oscillator MIR-FEL with wavelengths of 9.5-16.6 um and pulse energies of 0.15-0.4 uJ can be produced from 60-pC electron bunches with energy of 20-25 MeV. The super-radiant THz-FEL with frequencies of 1-3 THz and 700 kW peak power can be produced from 10-16 MeV electron bunches with a charge of 50 pC and a length of 200-300 fs. Furthermore, the THz-TR with a spectral range of 0.3-2.5 THz and a pulse power of up to 1.5 MW can be obtained. The MIR/THz FEL will be used as high-brightness light source for pump-probe experiments, while the coherent THz-TR will be used in time-domain spectroscopy.
