Design And Optimization Of Superconducting Radio-Frequency Electron Sources, Osama Mohsen

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

High brightness electron beams are an essential component that drives current and future accelerators and accelerator-based light sources including Free-Electron lasers (FELs), electron cooling experiments, and compact ultrafast electron probe setups (e.g. ultrafast electron diffraction). In FEL, the possible use of a superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) electron gun to support the generation of high-repetition-rate bright-beam can produce copious amounts of radiation over a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum which can be used in several scientific experiments while in electron probes, the use of SRF gun can enable the generation of high brightness electron beams at high repetition rates, e.g., necessary …
