Abstract： A compact 10 MeV S-band irradiation electron linear accelerator (linac) was developed to simulate electronic radiation in outer space and perform electron irradiation effect tests on spacecraft materials and devices. According to the requirements of space environment simulation, the electron beam energy can be adjusted in the range from 3.5 MeV to 10 MeV, and the average current can be adjusted in the range from 0.1 mA to 1 mA. The linac should be capable of providing beam irradiation over a large area of 1 m² with a uniformity greater than 90% and a scanning rate of 100 Hz. A novel method was applied to achieve such a high beam scanning rate by combining a kicker and a scanning magnet. Based on this requirement, a design for the 10 MeV linac is proposed with an RF power pulse repetition rate of 500 Hz ; it includes a thermal cathode electron gun, a bunching-accelerating section, and a scanning transport line. The detailed physical design and dynamic simulation results of the proposed 10 MeV electron linac are presented in this paper.

Abstract： The high-energy photon source (HEPS) is the first fourth-generation synchrotron light source facility in China. The HEPS injector consists of a linear accelerator (Linac) and a full energy booster. The booster captures the electron beam from the Linac and increases its energy to the value required for the storage ring. The full-energy beam could be injected to the storage ring directly or after “high-energy accumulation.” On November 17, 2023, the key booster parameters successfully reached their corresponding target values. These milestone results were achieved based on numerous contributions, including nearly a decade of physical design, years of equipment development and installation, and months of beam commissioning. As measured at the extraction energy of 6 GeV, the averaged beam current and emittance reached 8.57 mA with 5 bunches and 30.37 nm.rad with a single-bunch charge of 5.58 nC, compared with the corresponding target values of 6.6 mA and 35 nm.rad, respectively. This paper presents the physical design, equipment development, installation, and commissioning process of the HEPS booster.
