Description
The UK XFEL conceptual design and options analysis (CDOA) process has recently been completed. The UK XFEL design uses a superconducting linac operating with up to a 1 MHz repetition rate electron beam and demands beyond state of the art electron beam quality. This leads to strict requirements on the injector. The requirement for MHz repetition rates restricts the electron source technology to a number of operations: DC guns, VHF guns, L-band SRF guns, VHF SRF guns and DC-SRF guns. Two of these injector technologies were investigated in detail: a VHF gun and a high field L-band RF gun. In this proceeding the simulated beam dynamics performance and the technical readiness of the options will be compared and a number of conclusions will be drawn for the UK XFEL project.
