Negative transconductance in apertured electron guns

Femtosecond Electron Guns for Ultrafast Electron Diffraction*

The photocathode radio-frequency (RF) gun is a powerful electron source to generate a high-brightness femtosecond electron beam with energies of 1~3 MeV. The RF gun based relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) is a promising new technique that has the potential to probe directly structural changes at the atomic scale with sub-100 fs temporal resolution. In this paper, we analyze the ...

Time-dependent current-voltage relation in electron guns

Modelling and simulation of beam formation in electron guns

This paper describes a new PC version of the software package GUN-EBT for computer simulation of beam formation in rotationally symmetric electron guns with thermionic cathodes. It is based on a self-consistent physical model which takes into account the beam space charge and the initial velocities effects. The theoretical framework used for both the formulation of the model and for the interpr...

Propagation of apertured Bessel beams.

The propagation features of several apertured Bessel beams are numerically calculated. The calculations show that the relations of axial intensity versus propagation distance are similar to the radial distribution of the aperture functions, which may be helpful in choosing the proper aperture functions in experiments.
