Abstract

The EN tandem electrostatic accelerator at the Weizmann Institute of Science has been converted into an electron accelerator with beam power recovery. We report on the design and performance of the accelerator as well as on a new approach to stable, long-pulse operation of this class of machines. The long-pulse model of operation offers interesting possibilities for the operation of free electron lasers, in particular the study of high-coherence, single-mode operation.
