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 />
