Description

In the SCSS prototype accelerator for the X-ray free-electron laser project at SPring-8, a CeB6 thermionic gun is used to generate a 500 keV low-emittance electron beam. In order to make a short electron bunch (1A peak current and 1 ns width) from a micro-second long pulse just generated by the CeB6 gun, we have developed a beam deflector system. It consists of a fast high-voltage pulser, a deflector chamber with parallel electrodes, a bending magnet, and a beam collimator. They were designed and constructed not be deteriorate the low beam-emittance. This system is routinely operating in the SCSS prototype accelerator. (author)
