Femtosecond Electron Bunch Generation Using Photocathode Rf Gun
نویسندگان
چکیده
A femtosecond electron bunch is essential for the observation of ultrafast phenomena. In order to improve the time resolution of pulse radiolysis and ultrafast electron diffraction (UED), that involve the use of an ultrashort electron bunch and ultrashort light, a femtosecond photocathode RF gun was investigated experimentally. The bunch length due to space-charge and RF effects in the gun was measured. Emittance of the femtosecond electron bunch was also measured.

Consensus reached in the last few years that fourth generation light source will most likely be a X-ray or a UV coherent source based on single-pass high-gain free electron laser (FEL), such as Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE), or seeded high-gain harmonic -generation (HGHG) free electron lasers. High -gain (> 10) required for single-pass FEL puts great constrain on the quality of ele...
