Ion Tracking in Photocathode RF Guns
نویسنده
چکیده
Projected next-generation linac-based light sources such as PERL or the TESLA free-electron laser (FEL) generally assume, as essential components of their injector complexes, long-pulse photocathode rf electron guns. These guns, due to the nature in which they are operated, may be more susceptible to ion bombardment damage of their cathodes than conventional rf guns. This paper explores this possibility and presents a basis for future study of the subject.

Cathode Insert Design for SC RF Guns
The cathode inserts in superconducting (SC) RF guns are normal conducting devices attached to a SC RF gun cavity. They enable the photocathode replacement and, at the same time, preserve high quality factor and high fields in the RF guns. However, the insert may also limit the gun performance because of multipacting etc. The experience gathered in early designs at Wuppertal [1], and, more recen...
متن کاملFemtosecond 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 ...
متن کاملRf Focussing - an Instrument for Beam Quality Improvement in Superconducting Rf Guns
Rf electron guns require an external magnetic field focussing to produce a low emittance electron beam. A dc magnetic field focuses electrons in the beam already inside the cavity as they leave the photocathode. In superconducting rf guns (srf) the possibility of external magnetic focussing is quite limited. In this paper we investigate an effect of rf focussing in the first half cell of a 3+1/...
