Abstract

The Advanced Photon Source (APS), in conjunction with Advanced Electronics Technologies Associates (AET), is developing newly designed thermionic-cathode rf guns to replace our aging (circa 1992) guns. Each of the three third-generation injectors will meet or exceed the present high-performance electron beam of its second-generation predecessor. Moreover, the new injector design addresses the historical difficulties of maintenance, reliability, and sparse documentation associated with the previous injectors. Engineering design improvements and required performance of the guns will be presented following a brief examination of the APS second-generation guns for comparison
