Abstract

The performance of a single-section, S-band, plane-wave-transformer (PWT) photoelectron linac is characterized by a high (multi-ampere) average current required for advanced applications such as Compton x-ray sources and linear colliders. Single bunch dynamics and multi-bunch beam loading effects are considered. The threshold current for a regenerative BBU is calculated using a generalized Panofsky-Wenzel theorem, including such effects as the Lorentz force component of the transverse wake field, inhomogeneous solenoidal focusing field, high relative energy gain and interaction with the waves of different polarizations. Stimulated regenerative BBU is considered for cumulative BBU
