1.6 cell, high-gradient RF photocathode gun, manufactured at UCLA for use in the Neptune Laboratory

Technologies

At the UCLA PBPL, the technologies that underpin our approach to accelerator and physics are largely developed in-house. Foremost among these particle beam technologies are: high-field radio-frequency cavities for particle acceleration and manipulation, and advanced magnetostatic devices. At the PBPL students are exposed to state-of-the-art design and fabrication methods, including use 3D electromagnetic design codes and CAD programs, as well as sophisticated testing techniques.
