Abstract

The Maryland Infrared Free Electron Laser is being constructed at the University of Maryland, and is expected to lase in the far infrared. The accelerator driving the laser is a 10 MeV linac which is being assembled in an "in-line" configuration. The design work for the accelerator was accomplished using Trace-3D and PARMELA computer simulations. When the accelerator is completed, it will be able to accommodate several additional experimental sections within the beam line itself in order to further study accelerator physics
