Description

This work presents the design of a compact high-efficiency terahertz source, a collaborative effort between UCLA and RadiaBeam Technologies. The system, driven by a thermionic RF gun, features prebunching elements including alpha-magnet and electromagnetic chicane to effectively compress the long beam generated from the gun. By sending such beam into tapering enhanced waveguide oscillator, we can achieve high efficiency energy extraction in different regimes. This work focuses on the beam dynamics in the beamline prior injection into the undulator. A brief mention of the simulation results for radiation generation is also presented.
