High Brightness Electron Sources<br />
The beam phase space will not decrease after the electron source: A<br />
high brightness source is critical for LINAC based FELs.<br />
Electrons emitted with<br />
some transverse<br />
momentum spread<br />
Current dependant “space<br />
charge” forces counteract<br />
the accelerating field<br />
Electric field<br />
accelerates electrons<br />
away from the cathode<br />
Want short electron pulse to<br />
allow compression to high peak<br />
currents<br />
Emittance ~ radius X transverse energy spread<br />
Minimum cathode radius set by space charge limit -> want as high a gradient as practical<br />
Want minimum transverse momentum spread (cold beam).<br />
Surface roughness can increase transverse momentum spread, want < 10s of nanometers.<br />
