A Low Emittance High Duty Factor Injector Linac

The design and construction phases for all the components of the 20 MeV injector linac, for the MIT 400 MeV high duty factor machine, have been completed. The electron gun and its associated drift space components have been successfully operated up to the full voltage rating of 550 kV and at duty factors in excess of 10%; the high power RF transmitter has been installed and has passed acceptance tests; 1 and installation of the injector linac accelerator waveguides and test spectrometer is now in progress.
