Abstract
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is in the process
of designing and constructing a free-electron laser (FEL)
laboratory to pursue FEL-related research and introduce
students to modern accelerator and FEL technology. The
laboratory will pursue research on high-brightness injectors,
fundamental and applied beam dynamics, energy
recovery linear accelerators, as well as FEL experiments.
The accelerator will be based around two, Stanford-
Rossendorf type cryomodules, each of which houses two,
9-cell TESLA-type cavities. RF power will be provided
by four, 10-kW CW L-band klystrons. With a nominal
beam current of 1 mA, this provides an energy gain of
10 MV per structure. Intended operating modes include
single-pass, energy recovery linac, and 2-pass microtron.
This paper provides an introduction to the NPS-FEL
program goals, site and vault layout, and preliminary experimental
plan.
