Title: New possibilities for beam-beam and space-charge compensation: MCP gun and electron columns

Conference · · Conf.Proc.C070625:1159,2007

We propose to use microchannel plate (MCP) as a gigantic quantum efficiency photo-cathode in electron guns. Another proposal is to use electron columns formed by ionization electrons in a longitudinal magnetic field for compensation of space charge effects in high intensity proton synchrotrons. Strong magnetic field is to assure that transverse distribution of electron space charge in the column is the same as in proton beam. Electrostatic electrodes are to control the accumulation and release of the electrons. Ions are not magnetized and drift away without affecting the compensation.
