Abstract:Many user facilities such as synchrotron light sources and free electron lasers require accelerating structures that support electric fields of 10-15 MV/m, especially at the start of the accelerator chain where ceramic insulators are used for very high gradient dc guns. These insulators are difficult to manufacture, require long commissioning times, and often exhibit poor reliability. Two technical approaches to solving this problem will be investigated. Firstly, inverted ceramics offer solutions for reduced g… Show more
