A pulsed electron injector using a metal photocathode irradiated by an excimer laser

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6931619

The hot cathode of an electron gun is replaced by a metallic photocathode driven by an excimer laser. The current, current density, and emittance of the 500-kV electron beam produced by the photoelectron source are presented. In addition, the temperature of the photocathode is varied to study the possibility of a hybrid source.
