This project will develop a polarized electron source that provides a high quality beam at a much reduced cost. The source developed will benefit both the nuclear physics community and International Linear Collider (ILC). This project will develop a voltage droop compensation scheme that will provide a simple, reliable, and cost effective method to allow a high voltage Marx modulator produce a flattop voltage pulse as specified in the ILC project. Other accelerator facilities which need long pulse modulators will also benefit from the results of this project. Filling a gap in the electromagnetic spectrum that lies between the microwave/millimeter wave and the infrared regions, this project will develop a new, compact terahertz source based on a photoelectron linear accelerator to meet the high demand in broad applications for biology, superconductivity, chemistry, physics, environmental monitoring, satellite communications and homeland security. This project will develop a fluid controlled, tunable RF coupler for both normal conducting and superconducting RF cavities. This is an important innovation in the fields of RF accelerators and power sources. This project aims at the development of a new, compact, Terahertz radiation source for myriad applications. The commercial goal is to deliver an effective tool for smaller labs and businesses in biology, solid-state physics, superconductivity, environment monitoring, homeland security, defense, communication, and medicine.
