Abstract

We have been developing an S-band photocathode rf electron gun at Waseda university. Our rf-gun cavity was firstly designed by BNL and then, modified by our group. In this paper, we will introduce a newly designed rf-gun cavity with energy chirping cell. To generate an energy chirped electron bunch, we attached extra-cell for 1.6cell rf-gun cavity. Cavity design was done by Superfish and particle tracking by PARMELA. By optimizing the chirping cell, we observed linear chirped electron bunch. The front electron have lower energy than rear. Then transporting about 2m, the bunch can be compressed down to 200fsec electron bunch with the charge of 160pC. This ultra-short bunch will be able to use for generating CSR THz radiation, pumping some material to be studied by pulse radiolysis method, and so on. In this conference, the design of chirping cell attached rf-gun, the results of tracking simulation and plan of manufacturing will be presented.
