Abstract :
The Modular Component Technology Development (MCTD) accelerator is an 8-MeV electron linac designed to test high-power components and electron sources for a proposed FEL (free electron laser). The injector is two 433-MHz RF cavities with a photocathode at one end of the first cavity. Cavity shapes are based on Lasertron theory, cavities designed by J. Fraser (1987), and practical constraints. RF measurements were made on 1/3-scale cavities. Fabrication of the cavities is nearing completion
