Description
As mentioned in the report test facility installation and commissioning of the photogun, the prototype of a photogun for the Russian synchrotron light source SYLA was developed at MEPhI for the NRC Kurchatov institute. Today we have started the new project directed to further development of this facility. The project plans to upgrade the MW system to increase the photogun beam energy to 10 MeV, as well as to develop and to manufacture the 50 MeV booster section and precise bunch diagnostic devices. All these components are planned to be used for the full-scale 6 GeV injection e-linac for the SYLA. Additionally it is also planned that the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) based on the photogun and booster accelerating sections prototypes and the especially designed experimental chamber will be installed in MEPhI. It is proposed that short ps high-brightness bunches can be used for the generation of different types of radiation as well as Cherenkov, Smith-Purcell and transient. The ATF can generate electron bunches having variable energy of 7-50 MeV with the bunch length of 1-2 ps, the bunch charge up to 300-400 pC and the repetition rates up to 100 Hz. The photon flux could be used both for study of new methods of the bunch parameters diagnostics and for the material sciences experiments.
