Description
Summary:We present a new project aimed towards the development of a superradiant free electron laser (FEL) in the THz-frequency range with advanced performance parameters. The goal of the first stage of research and development is to construct an experimental RF gun with beam parameters and flexible operation which advance the present state of the art of technology. The RF gun will be subsequently used by the Israeli FEL group for the development and study of coherent THz radiation sources. As such, its energy and pulse length are critical parameters for enabling operation of high power THz frequencies. In this work we introduce the most important operating parameters of the future THz radiation set-up.
