Fermilab is executing a technology development program to develop a compact yet powerful electron accelerator. We are leveraging R&D breakthroughs in SRF cavities, cost-effective radio-frequency sources, modern cryo-coolers, and high average current electron guns. We show that a single accelerator module can deliver average beam power as high as 1 MW through detailed thermal, RF, and particle simulations.
