A room-temperature RF undulator, fed by Ka-band radiation and intended to produce {approx}1 nm wavelength radiation using moderate energy electrons, is considered. The necessary electron bunches with energy 0.2-1 GeV could be produced by petawatt laser pulses injected into plasma bubbles.
Multi-mode accelerating structures aimed at increasing accelerating gradient are described. Such structures operating in several resonant, equidistantly-spaced, axisymmetric, TM-like eigenmodes allow reduction of exposure time to surface fields, reduction of high-field areas and reduction of those fields which are responsible for electron emission. These effects are planned for use in studying the physics of RF breakdown phenomenon with the goal of designing new high-gradient accelerating structures.
