Title: Limits to Electron Beam Emittance from Stochastic Coulomb Interactions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/957041· OSTI ID:957041

Dense electron beams can now be generated on an ultrafast timescale using laser driven photo-cathodes and these are used for a range of applications from ultrafast electron defraction to free electron lasers. Here we determine a lower bound to the emittance of an electron beam limited by fundamental stochastic Coulomb interactions.
