ELECTRON BEAM DYNAMICS IN LINAC OF KURCHATOV SOURCE OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION WITH ENERGY DOUBLING

According to new injection scheme projected for the Kurchatov synchrotron radiation source a full energy booster synchrotron is planed to be the injector of the main storage ring SIBERIA-2. An existing linear accelerator will simultaneously serve as 80 MeV injector for storage ring SIBERIA-1 and as injector for the booster synchrotron with the electron energy of 160 MeV. The energy doubling scheme will be realized by magnetic mirror at the end of linac structure and second passage of electrons through accelerator structure of the linac. This paper describes the possibility of electron energy doubling. The results of computer simulation of electron beam dynamics during the double passage linac structure are presented.
