The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a small-scale experiment on space-charge dominated beams. The 100 ns, 10 keV electron beam fills up nearly one-half of the ring circumference. Here we review two models for the evolution of such beams, and present some initial results of measurements of longitudinal beam expansion for two initial line charge profiles.

The KEK electron linac was upgraded to 8 GeV for the KEK B-Factory (KEKB) project. During commissioning of the upgraded linac, even while continuing SOR ring injections, we had achieved a primary electron beam with 10-nC (6:24 10) per bunch up to 3.7-GeV for positron generation. This could be classified as one of the brightest S-band linac’s. Since the KEKB rings were completed in December 1998...

Introduction Magnetic fields are capable of altering the trajectory of electron beams andcan be used in radiation therapy.Theaim of this study was to produce regions with dose enhancement and reduction in the medium. Materials and Methods The NdFeB permanent magnets were arranged on the electron applicator in several configurations. Then, after the passage of the electron beams (9 and 15 MeV Va...

Strong variations of intensity and cutoff frequency of the auroral hiss were observed by INTERBALL-2 and POLAR satellites at high altitudes, poleward from the auroral oval. The hiss intensifications are correlated with the auroral activations during substorms and/or pseudo-breakups. The low cutoff frequency of auroral hiss increases with the distance between the aurora and the satellite footpri...

Singularities in wave fields, such as phase vortices, are of substantial interest for light optics, matter waves and x-ray optics. New theoretical insights [1] and cutting edge nanofabrication techniques have recently created a wide variety of electron vortex beams [2, 3] for the transmission electron microscope (TEM), which can provide spectroscopic information pertaining to the magnetic prope...

The effect of gantry rotation on beam profiles of photon and electron beams is an important issue in quality assurance for radiotherapy. To address variations in the profiles of photon and electron beams at different gantry angles, a Dynamic Phantom scanner composed of a 20 x 12 x 6 cm3 scanning Lucite block was designed as a cross-beam-profile scanner. To our knowledge, differences between sca...

An absolute beam-charge measurement of single-bunch electron beams with a pulse width of 10 ps and shortpulsed electron beams with a pulse width of 1 ns was performed by the beam test for the KEKB injector linac using a Faraday cup. A wall-current monitor was directly recalibrated by the beam test with an error of ±2%.

Abstract Hollow Electron Lenses (HEL) will be installed at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider to provide a continuous and controlled depletion of beam halo particles by interaction with superimposed hollow electron beam, intensity as high 5 A, radii 1.1–2.2 mm for 7 TeV LHC operations. In this paper, issues related propagation beams are discussed simulations dynamics feedback HEL design ...

Email of the presenting author: [email protected] After the first report of the production of an electron vortex beam, an electron traveling in free space with orbital angular momentum (OAM) [1], electron vortex beams have been attracting a great attention owing to the unique physical property and application to a new microscopy in materials science [2]. In the present paper, we show t...

The production of unprecedentedly high brightness electron beams is a critical aspect of many applications, from free-electron lasers to advanced accelerators. 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.
