Abstract
A compact, high brightness accelerator was designed and fabricated by Los Alamos National Laboratory for use in the Advanced Free Electron L aser (AFEL) Facility. A brazed copper, 1300-MHz, 20-MeV structure is s uspended within a thermally insulating vacuum vessel. Integral cooling passages allow introduction of cooling water for normal operation, or liquid nitrogen for cryogenic operation. Its exceptional beam quality is expected to enhance the performance of the FEL experiments planned for the AFEL Facility.
