Abstract :
In this paper we resurrect an idea originally proposed by Serafini (Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 318 (1992) 301) in 1992 for an RF photocathode gun capable of operating simultaneously at the fundamental frequency and a higher frequency harmonic. Driving the gun at two frequencies with the proper field ratio and relative phase produces a beam with essentially no RF emittance and a linear longitudinal phase space distribution. Such a gun allows a completely new range of operating parameters for controlling space charge emittance growth. In addition, the linear longitudinal phase space distribution aids in bunch compression. This paper will compare results of simulations for the two-frequency gun with the standard RF gun and the unique properties of the two-frequency gun will be discussed.
