THYPA — Synchrotron Light Sources and FELs<br />

Overview of FEL Injectors<br />

Future light sources based on high gain free<br />

electron lasers, require the production, ac- M. Ferrario (INFN/LNF)<br />

celeration and transport up to the undulator<br />

entrance of high brightness (low emittance, high peak current) electron bunches. Wake fields effects in accelerating<br />

sections and in magnetic bunch compressors typically contribute to emittance degradation, hence the photo-injector<br />

design and its operation is the leading edge for high quality beam production and for the success of the future light<br />

sources. RF guns, photo-cathode materials, laser pulse shaping and synchronization systems are evolving towards a<br />

mature technology to produce high quality and stable beams. Nevertheless reduction of thermal emittance, damping<br />

of emittance oscillations and bunch compression are still the main issues and challenges for injector designs. With<br />

the advent of Energy Recovery Linacs, superconducting RF guns have been also considered in many new projects as<br />

a possible electron source operating in CW mode. An overview of recent advancements and future perspectives in<br />

FEL injectors will be illustrated in this talk, including a comparison of merits and issues of RF compression versus<br />

magnetic compression techniques.<br />
