Abstract
We report on design work and testing of several main components of the FOM-Fusion-FEM project. Measurements on the electron gun are presente d, showing a uniform beam current profile and a low halo current. A ti me-dependent simulation study of the interaction between the electron beam and the mm-waves shows that, for proper undulator tapering, longi tudinal mode competition results in a quasi single-mode regime. Furthe r, some high power and detailed low power measurements on mock-ups of the waveguide system are presented, showing that the reflection and ou tcoupling systems perform well.
