Commissioning & Characterization Of Magnetized Gridded Thermionic Electron Source, Mark Stefani
Commissioning & Characterization Of Magnetized Gridded Thermionic Electron Source, Mark Stefani
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Collaborative efforts to design and fabricate a magnetized gridded thermionic electron source have been conducted between Xelera and Jefferson Lab. Commissioning and characterization of an electron gun fabricated by Xelera was performed to benchmark the viability of future electron source designs and capabilities. The work involved simulation, installation, trouble-shooting, modifications of the design, commissioning, characterization, and magnetization of the electron beam produced. A specially designed cavity as well as novel diagnostic tools and methods were developed, implemented, and experimentally tested. Finally, the gun was used to demonstrate a previously unachieved current of magnetized electron beam from a gridded thermionic source …

Electrostatic Design And Characterization Of A 200 Kev Photogun And Wien Spin Rotator, Gabriel G. Palacios Serrano
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
High-energy nuclear physics experiments at the Jefferson Lab Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) require high spin-polarization electron beams produced from strained super-lattice GaAs photocathodes activated to negative electron affinity in a high voltage photogun operating at 130 kV dc. A pair of Wien filter spin rotators in the injector provides precise control of the electron beam polarization at the end station target. An upgrade of the CEBAF injector to better support the upcoming Moller experiment requires increasing the electron beam energy to 200 keV, resulting in better transmission through injector apertures and improved photocathode lifetime. In addition, the energy …
