چکیده
The development of high current, high brightness electron guns is critically important for free-electron laser and energy recovery linear-accelerator light source facilities. In this paper, we will review the technical requirements of such projects and the status of on-going research throughout the community including results of emittance measurements and high current beam performance.

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 کاملLiquid-metal-jet anode electron-impact x-ray source
We demonstrate an anode concept, based on a liquid-metal jet, for improved brightness in compact electron-impact x-ray sources. The source is demonstrated in a proof-of-principle experiment where a 50 keV, ;100 W electron beam is focused on a 75 mm liquid-solder jet. The generated x-ray flux and brightness is quantitatively measured in the 7–50 keV spectral region and found to agree with theory...
متن کاملCold electron sources using laser-cooled atoms
Since the first observation of electron diffraction in 1927, electrons have been used to probe the structure of matter. High-brightness sources of thermal electrons have recently emerged that are capable of simultaneously providing high spatial resolving power along with ultrafast temporal resolution, however they are yet to demonstrate the holy grail of singleshot diffraction of non-crystallin...

The preferred method for obtaining these beams is the radiofrequency photoinjector. The physics and technology aspects of this device are reviewed here, along prospects for future progress in high-brightness beam development.
متن کاملField emission from individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes prepared in an electron microscope.
Individual multiwalled carbon nanotube field emitters were prepared in a scanning electron microscope. The angular current density, energy spectra, and the emission stability of the field-emitted electrons were measured. An estimate of the electron source brightness was extracted from the measurements. The results show that carbon nanotubes are promising candidates to replace existing sources i...
