Development of a high brightness electron gun for the Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7058521
An electron gun utilizing a radio frequency accelerating cavity operating at a frequency of 2856 MHZ is described. Low level tests of a model cavity designed for use with either a thermionic or laser driven photo-cathode are presented. Calculations for a laser driven photo-cathode at a bunch charge of 1nC in a 5 psec bunch are given. With this configuration we hope to achieve an emittance (..gamma..sigma/sub x/sigma/sub x/) of 5 to 10 /times/ 10/sup /minus/6/ m /center dot/ rad at an output energy of 4.85 MeV for a 1nC charge. 9 refs., 10 figs., 4 tabs.
