WP7: High brightness accelerators for light sources

Objectives

  • Organise workshops on the technology enabling the design and construction of future ultra-low emittance rings
  • Specify and design magnetically and mechanically a longitudinal variable field dipole magnet with transverse gradient, adapted to the ELETTRA storage ring upgrade, for reducing further the horizontal emittance
  • Design of two different C-band (5.712 GHz) RF electron guns operating at very high gradient cathode peak field
  • Build and test, at low and high RF power, two prototypes at different TRL of the X-band (12 GHz) accelerating structure designed for the CompactLight (XLS) project
