Abstract

The results of phase orbit computations are presented showing typical cutoff and acceptance characteristics for high voltage electrons injected into a 60 MV/m, 17 GHz traveling wave (TW) disc loaded structure. The RF fringing fields at beam entry to the TW structure and the presence of a standing wave domain at the input cavity have a dominating influence on the capture and bunching process and on the asymptotic bunch location of the accelerated beam. The effects of beam loading and of different injection energies and input RF power levels are investigated; and injection operating parameters with RF chopped and prebunched beams to ensure high resolution, sub-picosecond bunch performance with the 17 GHz linac, are presented
