  1. The development of ultra bright electron sources: An overview B.L. Militsyn Accelerator Science and Technology Centre Science & Technology Facility Council, UK

  2. Production of ultra bright electron beams. Outline of problems. B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK Emission of fs electron bunches Time structure definition and synchronisation Acceleration with the preservation of bunch length and emittance Bunch compression Transportation and manipulation Characterisation

  3. Emission of fs-scale electron beams B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK • Thermal emission • Medium brightness • High repetition rate • Poor controllability • Photoemission from metal photocathodes • Medium brightness • Medium repetition rate • Good controllability • Generation of high power fs-scale laser pulses is required • Field emission • High brightness, • Low repetition rate • Poor controllability • Non-traditional electron emitters • Plasma emitters • ...

  4. Emission. Photoemitters. Metal photocathodes • Very fast – few fs response time • Relatively high QE – 10-6 – 10-4 • Very robust at a vacuum of 10-10 mbar F. Le Pimpec et al. , Workshop on Photocathodes for RF Guns, 1-2 March 2011, Lecce, Italy B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK

  5. Emission of high brightness beam. Demands to the cathode field. B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK

  6. Acceleration technologies B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK • DC gun • Low field • Highly stability • Acceptable environment for photocathodes • Unlimited repetition rate (limited by the laser repetition rate and photocathode thermal load) • NC RF guns • High field • Medium stability • Relative low repetition rate • SRF guns • Medium field • High repetition rate (limited by the RF frequency) • Non-traditional accelerator schemes • Plasma wake-field acceleration

  7. Acceleration. PITZ/FLASH L-band NCRF photocathode gun Distribution of accelerating RF and focusing magnetic field in the gun B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK

  8. Transportation and manipulation B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK • Emittance preservation • Emittance compensation • Transportation • Precise beam optical system • Velocity bunching • Require relative low energy • Linearity • High demands to phase stability of the bunching cavity • Magnetic compression • High energy • CSR at high bunch charge • Physical length of the chicane

  11. Beam characterisation B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK • Emittance • Projection and slice emittance <0.1 mm·mrad at a bunch charge of 1-10 pC • Bunch length • Bunch length 10-100 fs • Energy spread • Less than 10-4 • Arrival time • Precision of 10’s fs • Slice parameters

  13. Time structure definition and synchronisation B.L. Militsyn, Ultra bright electron sources workshop, 29 June – 1July 2011, Daresbury, UK • Laser system • Laser pulse duration • Laser pulse repetition rate • Laser pulse stability • Temporal pulses structure • Spatial laser pulse structure • Laser pulse temporal stability relative to the master oscillator • RF system • Amplitude stability • Phase stability relative to the master oscillator • Synchronisation system • Temporal stability • Thermal stability • Etc.
