Research abstract
A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE GENERATION OF A SHEET ELECTRON BEAM APPROPRIATE FOR A 5 MW CW, 150 GHZ FREE ELECTRON LASER (FEL) AMPLIFIER IS PLANNED IN PHASE I. THE BEAM WOULD HAVE AN ENERGY OF APPROXIMATELY 860 KEV, AND A CURRENT OF 30 A. THE ELECTRON GUN, WHICH WILL BE A NON-IMMERSED PLANAR PIERCE TYPE, WILL BE EXAMINED IN DETAIL. A LOWER VOLTAGE, SHORT PULSE VERSION WILL BE DESIGNED FOR A PROOF-OF-PRINCIPLE EXPERIMENT OF THE FEL.
