Abstract
A superconducting electron linac (e-Linac) photo-fission driver is under construction at VECC for the upcoming rare isotope beam facility called ANURIB. The first stage consists of an injector linac based on 1.3 GHz superconducting radio frequency technology designed for accelerating 10 MeV, 2 mA CW electron beam. An rf modulated thermionic electron gun (E-Gun) has been developed and tested for this injector linac. The E-Gun will allow continuous beam operation up to 300 keV with around 3 pC charge per pulse at 650 MHz. Electron beam with RF modulation is extracted from the gun and intensity, energy, size of the DC beam as well as trans-conductance of the electron source are measured. The design of some major components for the electron gun and low energy beam transport line is discussed and results of beam tests are presented.
