BXERL photo-injector based on a 217 MHz normal conducting RF gun

The Beijing X-ray Energy Recovery Linac (BXERL) test facility is proposed in Institute of High Physics (IHEP).In this proposal,the main linac requires the injector to provide an electron beam with 5 MeV energy and 10 mA average current.An injector based on DC gun technology is the first candidate electron source for BXERL.However,the field emission in the DC gun cavity makes it much more difficult to increase the high voltage to more than 500 kV.Another technology based on a 217 MHz normal conducting RF gun...
