Abstract :
An induction linac has been studied and built in order to acquire induction technology for free electron laser (FEL) and other applications. It comprises a 1.5 MeV injector with a thermionic cathode which can deliver a high current electron beam (1 to 2 kA) and a 12 cells accelerating block which raises the electron energy up to 3 MeV. The injector has been tested and fully characterized and the accelerator is now being completed. We describe the induction cells and the high voltage generator designed to feed the cells with 150 kV pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate
