Design and Performance of the Cornell ERL DC Photoemission Gun

چکیده
Cornell University is planning to build an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) X-ray facility. For an ERL, it is well known that the x-ray beam brightness for the users is mainly determined by the initial electron beam emittance provided by the injector To address technical challenges of producing very low emittance beams at high average current as required for an ERL, Cornell University has proposed a prototype injector with 5-15 MeV beam energy, 100 mA maximum average current and 77 pC/bunch. In this article, we describe the design, construction and initial results for a DC photoemission gun now under operation.

High Brightness, High Current Injector Design for the Cornell Erl Prototype∗
Cornell University, in collaboration with Jefferson Laboratory, has proposed the construction of a 100 MeV, 100 mA CW Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) prototype, to study and resolve the many accelerator physics and technology issues of this type of machine. The long term goal of this work is the construction of a state-of-the-art 5 to 7 GeV ERL-based synchrotron light source. A key element of this ...
متن کاملBeam Generation from a 500kv Dc Photoemission Electron Gun*
The next generation light sources such as energy recovery linac (ERL) light sources and X-ray FEL oscillator require high brightness electron gun with megahertz repetition rate. We have developed a DC photoemission electron gun at JAEA for the Japanese ERL light source project. This DC gun employs a segmented insulator with guard rings to protect the insulator from field emission generated from...
متن کاملPhase Space Tomography Using the Cornell Erl Dc Gun
The brightness and quality of electron beams in linacbased light sources are ultimately limited by the properties of the beam in the injector. It is thus important to have knowledge of the phase space distribution in addition to the rms emittance to provide an insight into high beam brightness formation mechanisms. A tomography technique has been used to reconstruct the transverse phase space o...

متن کاملSummary, Working Group 1: Electron guns and injector designs
We summarize the proceedings of Working Group 1 of the 2005 Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Workshop. The subject of this working group, the electron gun and injector design, is arguably the most critical part of the ERL as it determines the ultimate performance of this type of accelerators. Working Group 1 dealt with a variety of subjects: The technology of DC, normal-conducting RF and superconduc...
