TI - Design and Optimization of a 1.3 GHz Gridded Thermionic Electron Gun for High-Intensity Compact Superconducting Electron Accelerator (HICSEA) J2 - Proc. of LINAC2022, Liverpool, UK, 28 August-02 September 2022 CY - Liverpool, UK T2 - International Linear Accelerator Conference T3 - 31 LA - english AB - The design and optimization of the proposed 1.3 GHz gridded thermionic electron gun aims to drive a conduction cooled superconducting electron accelerator that will be used to treat contaminants of emerging concern in water bodies. The gun geometry is Pierce-type and optimized for beam current of 1A with LaB6 as cathode material at cathode potential of -100 kV. The final optimized cathode radius and angle of inclination of the focusing electrode are found to be 1.5 mm, and 77 degree respectively. For an emittance compensation electrode, the optimized values for thickness and potential are 2 mm and -50 kV respectively, and separation between cathode and compensator is 8 mm. Beam dynamics calculations have been performed with self-developed particle tracking code that assumes space charge interactions and imported fields. The beam dynamics simulations show that with an initial bunch length of 50 ps having a bunch charge of 5 pC, the bunch length of the bunch reduces to 33 ps. The diameter, transverse and longitudinal emittance obtained are 2.8 mm, 1 mm-mrad and 5 mm-mrad respectively.
