An S-band thermionic 1.5-cell rf gun injector system is being built at NSRRC for Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) booster. At optimized field ratio, an electron beam with linear energy chirp can be generated by the rf gun. The beam is then compressed by an alpha magnet such that ultra-short electron bunch...
