Beam Physics
Kwang-Je Kim
Ph.D., Maryland, 1970.
Associate Division Director, Accelerator Systems Division/Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory.
Professor (part time), Dept. of Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute.
GENERAL GOAL: Investigation of particle and photon beams and their mutual interactions with the goal of developing novel accelerators or radiation devices.
RECENT RESEARCH TOPICS: Manipulation of particle beams in 6-D phase-space to reduce the size and cost of x-ray free electron lasers. Development of an electron gun with high brightness electron beams with flat transverse profile which can replace large and expensive damping rings in future linear collider. Development of an intense Terahertz radiator based on a Smith-Purcell backward wave oscillator using scanning electron microscope beams.
