Concept and General Design of an Electron Pulse Stretcher
This paper presents the project of an electron pulse stretcher (E.P.S.) for the 100-300 MeV electron linear accelerator of the University of Saskatchewan. We briefly outline the results of a previous study made by the particle optics division (S.O.C.) of Saclay for the project ALIS and show its relation to our design. The present E.P.S. machine design and characteristics are discussed and finally some remarks are made on tolerances and vacuum requirements. More detailed information can be obtained in our internal reports.
