Beam Generation from a 500kv Dc Photoemission Electron Gun*

چکیده
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 central stem electrode. We have successfully applied 500-kV on the ceramics with a cathode electrode in place and generated beam from the 500kV DC photoemission gun in October 2012. Details of the beam generation test at 440 kV as well as 500 kV are presented.

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 ...
متن کاملDesign and Performance of the Cornell ERL DC Photoemission Gun
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...

We present a comparison between space charge calculations and direct measurements of the transverse phase space of space charge dominated electron bunches from a high voltage dc photoemission gun followed by an emittance compensation solenoid magnet. The measurements were performed using a double-slit emittance measurement system over a range of bunch charge and solenoid current values. The dat...
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...
متن کاملSpatial–temporal Hysteresis Effects in an Intense Electron Beam
An electron gun with large compression of a thin annular beam for generation of high-power microwaves and IR radiation has been designed. Computer simulations of beam formation in the gun show some hysteresis effects: a beam with different current can exist in the same external conditions. At the upper (metastable) part of a hysteresis curve the beam current exceeds Child-Langmuir current. Expe...
