Optimisation of an radiofrequency electron source input coupler

The CLS uses a high energy electron accelerator to produce synchrotron light for user experiments. This project is to design and construct a part for a new radiofrequency electron source that is being installed at the CLS in a new electron source lab. The part needs to be designed to produce very high gradient electric fields for a new type of electron source that is being developed as a future electron source for the CLS. The project will involve make computer simulations of high power radio waves to design the component dimension, then construct a low power prototype in the CLS workshop for testing on the workbench with electronic test equipment.
