Abstract :
A monitor has been developed that provides an indication of the bunching efficiency of the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory´s linear accelerator (linac). By adjusting the prebuncher phase at the injector, a decrease in energy spread of 15% at the end of the linac was observed. With more rigorous optimization, it is believed that a reduction of 20% or greater in energy spread can be achieved
