High - Brightness Beam Current Limit in Rf Field
نویسنده
چکیده
An analytical solution for a self-consistent particle equilibrium distribution in an RF field with uniform transverse focusing is applied to the problem of the high brightness beam current limit. The distribution function in phase space is determined as a stationary function of the energy integral. Particle distribution of the bright beam always tends to such a shape that the space charge beam potential is opposite to the external potential regardless of the applied field. Analytical expressions for r-z equilibrium beam profile and beam current limit in an RF field are obtained.

Photocathodes and DC Guns for Next Generation Light Sources
A new class of synchrotron light sources, based on the use of superconducting electron linear accelerators and beam recirculation with energy recovery, is currently under active consideration. The injectors for such accelerators must deliver high brightness electron beams with appropriate RF time structure and the full average beam current. Various photoemission cathodes have been demonstrated ...

We studied the possibility of the high brightness operation of the NewSUBARU electron storage ring without lattice modification. By turning-off the RF shaker that is used to enlarge the vertical size and the lifetime of stored electron beams, the brightness can be improved 2.7 times assuming that the stored current is the same. As the lifetime decreases, the top-up current is also reduced due t...
متن کاملMaximum achievable beam brightness from photoinjectors.
Electron injectors delivering relativistic electron beams with very high brightness are essential for a number of current and proposed electron accelerator applications. These high brightness beams are generally produced from photoemission cathodes. We formulate a limit on the electron beam brightness from such cathodes set by the transverse thermal energy of the electrons leaving the photocath...

The Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) uses a photocathode rf gun to provide a high-brightness electron beam intended for FEL and laser acceleration experiments. The rf gun consists of 1-,' cells driven at 2856 MHz in 7r-mode with a maximum cathode field of 100 MV/m. To achieve long lifetimes, our photocathode development concentrates on robust metals such as copper, yttrium and samariu...
متن کاملSchottky-enabled photoemission in a rf accelerator photoinjector: possible generation of ultralow transverse thermal-emittance electron beam.
We present a clear signature of the Schottky effect in a rf photoinjector using photons with energy lower than the Mg cathode work function. This signature is manifested by the shift in the rf phase angle for the onset of the detection of photoelectrons via single-photon absorption and allows for a reasonable estimate of the field enhancement factor. This is a viable method to generate an elect...
