Description

In this paper we present the design of the high-gradient, high-energy-gain IFEL accelerator proposed for construction at the ATF beamline in BNL. We plan to accelerate the ATF electron beam from 50 MeV to 120 MeV using a 60 cm long tapered permanent magnet helical undulator designed at UCLA and the existing ATF 0.5 TW CO2 laser system. The experiment will obtain a record 120 MV/m gradient and >70 MeV energy gain and will be an important step in the development of compact IFEL accelerators for the mid-high energy range (up to 1-2 GeV).
