Microtron is the device that accelerates the electrons with circular orbit. Electrons in a microtron are accelerated by an alternating electric and a uniform magnetic field in a RF resonator. The electrons

must have exactly same phase of acceleration electric field which is supplied from a magnetron to gain the certain energy at each passage through the RF resonator. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute

has operated microtron with thermionic cathode for the THz Free Electron Laser (FEL) generation and has a future plan of photocathode microtron for compact FEL. We will present the studying on the

dynamics of electrons in a microtron with thermionic cathode and measure the current and the energy of each orbit in using PIC code.

ConclusionRecently, high power femtosecond THz FEL is under development for pump-probe applications at KAERI, using photocathode. In thermionic emission, the several bunches of electrons with different radius are

accelerated at the same time, while only one bunch with high peak current is accelerated in photocathode emission. Unlike to thermionic cathode, high peak current may degrade the beam quality due to RF instabilit

To upgrade thermionic cathode to photocathode, We has simulated the microtron with photocathode code.
