Abstract :
Pohang Accelerator Laboratory is constructing the 2-GeV Pohang Light Source, a dedicated synchrotron radiation source. The injector of the storage ring is a 2 GeV linear accelerator. The construction of the linac will be completed by the end of 1993. We plan to construct a test linac using some spare components after the linac construction. The design of the test linac is based on two accelerating columns and a matching girder, a klystron, and a modulator after upgrading the current 60 MeV preinjector. The energy of the test linac will be 50 MeV, and the peak current 30 A. The radiation wavelength is expected to be from 3 to 30 microns. A thermionic RF-gun is considered as an electron beam source. The whole test linac can be installed by sharing the present 2 GeV linac tunnel and the gallery
