| Abstract | The electron linear accelerator at the Plasma and Beam Physics Research Facility (PBP-CMU Linac), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, is used to produce femtosecond electron bunches for generation of THz radiation. The main components of the PBP-CMU Linac are a thermionic RF electron gun, an alpha magnet, a travelling wave linac structure, quadrupole lens, steering magnets, and various diagnostic components. The RF-gun consists of a 1.6 S-band standing wave structure and a side-coupling cavity. The 2856 MHz RF wave is transmitted from the klystron to the gun through a rectangular waveguide input-port. Both the RF input-port and the side-coupling cavity cause an asymmetric electromagnetic field distribution inside the gun. The electron beam from the RF-gun has asymmetric transverse shape with an emittance value, which is higher than the beam from the symmetric fields. The problems are increased when the beam is transported from the gun through the whole accelerator system. Beam dynamic simulations are performed to investigate the effect of the asymmetric fields on the electron properties by using the codes PARMELA and ELEGANT. An integrated electron beam diagnostic station to measure the beam properties will be installed in the system to investigate these effects. Results from numerical and experimental studies are reported in this contribution. | |||||
