  2. Outline High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 • Why high-brightness and high-average power electron sources • The ideal high-power high-brightness electron source. • The real electron source: Issues and challenges of available technologies. • Examples of present and future sources (an incomplete list!).

  3. Why High-Brightness, High-Power Electron Sources High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 • Very-high beam power (~ 100kW), low brightness e- sources. • Industrial applications, sterilization by irradiation. • High to very-high beam power, higher brightness e- sources. • FELs and ERL based light sources. In FELs matching conditions on emittance and energy spread drive these quantities down: High brightness At the same time, the number of electrons/bunch is pushed up and the bunch lengths are pushed down by gain requirements. In ERLs the requirements for high photon brightness translate into high brightness electron sources. In FELs and ERL operating at relatively long wavelengths (IR to NUV), the longer wavelength allows relaxing the normalized emittance (~ 10 mm) and hence the brightness requirements while maintaining a relatively low beam energy. Basic science (~ 1kW beam power) and military applications (up to ~250kW) • In high-energy physics applications requirements in beam power are usually modest (ILC: tens of mA) and the emittance game is played in damping rings. Notable exception: ERLs used in electron cooling schemes (BNL)

  4. Why High-Brightness, High-Power Electron Sources High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 • Electron sources are nowadays playing a central role in • 4th generation X-ray light sources • (FELs and ERLs operating in soft and hard X-ray frequency range) • High Brightness becomes one of the main requirement for operating such a machines as well as the capability of controlling the 6D beam distribution. • The required beam quality for all these modes of operation is set at the injector and in particular at the electron gun. • Not only high-brightness! • A growing user request pushes towards high-repetition rate, high-average power/ current electron sources. • (https://hpcrd.lbl.gov/sxls/Workshop_Report_1stVersion.pdf) • Low repetition rate sources have already brilliantly achieved the brightness performance required (LCLS, PITZ, Spring8, …) • High repetition rate sources not yet!

  5. 4th Generation X-Ray Light Sources High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 • ERLs. 100 MHz-GHz-like reprate, • very high average current: hundreds of mA, • normalized emittances 10-7 to 10-6 m Cornell • Low reprate FELs. Few Hz to ~1 kHz reprate, or low reprate long trains of bunches, • sub-micron normalized emittances, • < 10 mA average currents. LCLS-SLAC • High reprate FELs. MHz-class reprates, • sub-micron emittances, • several mA average currents LBNL • XFELO Oscillator. MHz-like reprate, • tens of pC bunches, • 10-7 m normalized emittance. • Electron sources with the required performance exists only for the low reprate FEL category… ANL

  6. Multiple Modes of Operation High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 Cornell Case • FELs: • higher charge (> ~ 0.2 – 1 nC), • low charge (tens of pC), • short bunches/broad spectra, • longer bunches/narrower spectra, • attosecond bunches, • beam “blow-up” regime, • …

  7. The Ideal Electron Source High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 To achieve the goals of these high-repetition rate, high-average current applications, the electron source should allow for: • repetition rates from few tens of kHz up to ~ 1 GHz • charge per bunch from few tens of pC to ~ 1 nC, • sub 10-7 (low charge) to 10-6 m normalized beam emittance, • beam energy at the gun exit greater than ~ 500 keV (space charge), • electric field at the cathode greater than ~ 10 MV/m (space charge limit), • bunch length control from tens of fs to tens of ps for handling space charge effects, and for allowing the different modes of operation, • compatibility with magnetic fields in the cathode and gun regions (mainly for emittance compensation) • 10-9 - 10-11Torr operation vacuum pressure (high QE photo-cathodes), • “easy” installation and conditioning of different kind of cathodes, • high reliability compatible with the operation of a user facility. Injector cost is a small fraction of a 4th generation light source cost. Minimizing costs is usually not a high priority requirement.

  8. Cathodes High Power, High Brightness Electron Beam Sources F. Sannibale The Physics and Applications of High Brightness Electron Beams - Maui, USA, November 18, 2009 • Cathodes are obviously a fundamental part of electron sources. • The gun performance heavily depends on cathodes • The ideal cathode should allow for high brightness (have a low thermal/intrinsic normalized emittance, low energy spread, high current density) full control of the bunch distribution, and long lifetimes. • In the low charge regime (tens of pC/bunch) the ultimate emittance performance is set by the cathode thermal emittance • Photo-cathodes (most of present injector schemes) • Thermionic cathodes can in some cases, offer low thermal emittances but require sophisticate compression schemes. • (CeB6 at SCSS-Spring 8, XFELO-ANL) In high-repetition rates photo-sources high quantum efficiency photo-cathodes (QE>~ 1 %) are required to operate with present laser technology. Other cathodes under study (photo-assisted field emission, needle arrays, photo-thermionic, diamond amplifiers)
