Experiments with Waves on Relativistic Electron Beams.

Abstract

Installation of the Febetron electron accelerator, vacuum chamber, axial guide magnetic field, and pulsed magnetic wiggler is complete. Diode current and voltage diagnostics have been developed. Cathode designs have begun to produce low current (100's) of amperes) beams of low emittance. A novel 90 degree deflection momentum analyzer has been designed to determine the momentum spread for a sample of the beam. Low current cw beams in the energy range 4-20 keV were employed to determine electron orbits in the wiggler/guide field combination. Beam analyzers were designed and employed to distinguish orbit deflection and helicity. (Author)
