Abstract

The generation of high brightness electron beams with sub-ps bunch length at kA peak currents is a crucial requirement in the design of injectors for Linac based X- Ray FEL´s. In the last years the proposal to use a slow wave RF structure as a rectilinear compressor in this range of interest, to overcome the difficulties related to magnetic compressors, has been widely discussed in the accelerator physics community. In this paper the results in the design and study of a 3 GHz model structure will be presented.
