Introduction Project Beam charge Normalized Injector emittans Energy spread Super. KEKB 5 n. C ~20 mm mrad 1% C-τ Factory 3 n. C ~10 mm mrad 0. 1% FCC 6. 5 n. C ~6 mm mrad 0. 08% 1. Beam charge, normalized beam emittance and energy spread are depended on the electron gun design. 2. High beam charge is needed => large area of the photocathode => beam emittance increasing 3. Ultra low energy spread is necessary => short beam longitudinal size 4. Normalized emittance of the injector is not too low, but taking into account the lengths of the linacs and possible errors of the real devices, low beam emittance of the e-gun can be useful. The new ideas of the e-gun design and the cathodes material are required A. Levichev, A. E. Levichev@inp. nsk. su 2018 Workshop on the Circular Electron-Positron Collider 2

Ordinary design of RF gun Description of the structure: 1. Oscillation mode is π 2. Sequential RF power feeding 3.

Our suggestion RF gun based on the parallel coupled accelerating structure (PCAS) Features: 1) Parallel RF power feeding. 2) Cavities are not connected with each other by RF power: process in one cavity doesn’t influence on every cavities 3) Organization of the free electric field distribution along the structure can be obtained by changing the individual coupling slot 4) In order to develop accelerating structure only one accelerating cells have to be calculated due to absence of the cavities connection by electromagnetic field 5) Aperture of the structure is defined by only beam motion and can be considerably reduced 6) Design of the structure allows using internal permanent focusing magnets.

Conclusion 1. The design of parallel coupled accelerating structure allows using the permanent focusing magnets and create the strong magnetic field along the cavities and save the beam size. 2. The travelling tube aperture can be decreased as significantly as it allows the beam dynamics. 3. This design of the RF gun allows us to consider the cavities as independent. The length and field amplitude can be tuned separately for every cavity. 4. Preliminarily results of beam dynamic simulations gave reason to hope that this construction is acceptable solution for high charge generation. 5. The prototype of the accelerating structure based on new design with parallel coupling between the cavities have been produced in BINP with operating frequency of 2450 MHz and successfully tested. 6. It is currently planned to perform tests the new parallel coupled accelerating structure with 2856 MHz. 7. Ir 5 Ce cathode is developed 8. The work function of the cathode is measured. According to this measurements (2. 4 e. V), the green laser can be used for tests with the cathode In plan 1. Stress tests with the cathode 2. Measuring of the quantum efficiency of the cathode 3.

Prototype of parallel coupled accelerating structure with 2450 MHz: breakdowns Breakdown in the 5 -th accelerating cavity. F 1 – RF power from klystron, 1. 6 MW, pulse duration 5 μs; F 3 – reflected signal; F 4 – stored RF energy in 5 -th accelerating cavity Regime with breakdowns in several accelerating cavities. F 1 – RF power from klystron, 1. 6 MW, pulse duration 5 μs; F 3 – reflected signal; F 4 – stored RF energy in 5 -th accelerating cavity The peak on the reflected signal (blue) corresponds to the breakdown in one of the accelerating cavities. One can see that only cavity with breakdown is “switched off”. On the left figure the first breakdown is in the fifth cavity and the its storage energy is terminated. On the right figure the first breakdown doesn’t influence on the fifth accelerating cavity. A. Levichev, A. E. Levichev@inp. nsk. su 2018 Workshop on the Circular Electron-Positron Collider 14
