| Abstract | A C-band RF gun for compact radiation sources such as a high energy x-ray and a terahertz radiation is developed at AIST, which is designed to work at the frequency of 5.3 GHz*. A coniferous-tree-type carbon nanostructure (CCNS) is used for a field emission cathode in the C-band RF gun. A graphene sheet composed of carbon has a coniferous form, and the tip has a nanometer-size tubular structure that becomes thicker on the substrate side**. Owing to this configuration, the CCNS has a large field enhancement factor, and is considered to be more stable in high electric fields than Carbon nanotubes. We have fabricated the C-band RF gun of the single cell cavity. Emission current depending on the electric field strength on the CCNS cathode surface was measured. When the electric field strength was 30 MV/m, the total charge per a macro pulse was 30 nC. After applying a stronger electric field, a decline of the field enhancement factor was observed. We will present the experimental result of the field emission measurement of the CCNS and the simulation result of a beam trajectory using a C-band RF gun of a multi cell cavity. | |||||
