ISSUES AND QUESTIONS
  • QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS BY C. SINCLAIR 1
  • Fundamental RD / theory question(s)
  • What combination of achievable, external fields
    results in the maximum charge density in 6-D
    phase space (from a zero thermal emittance
    source)? For a CW source, it is not obvious
    whether DC or RF fields are best (particularly
    for room temperature RF, where the fields are
    limited by thermal considerations). For low duty
    factor applications, the consensus appears to be
    RF, but that must depend on the bunch charge.
  • How should emittance be measured, and what is
    required to have a high quality measurement?
  • Regarding the relation between thermal emittance
    and bunch duration at the cathode space charge
    fields are reduced by making larger bunches and
    emitting from a smaller area (which increases
    longitudinal and transverse emittance) -
    therefore, for a given bunch charge, what is the
    optimal emitting area and bunch duration to
    achieve bets final charge density in 6-D phase
    space (the answer will depend on whether fields
    are static or dynamic).
  • Application and requirements dictate
    photocathode needs of low repetition rate, high
    charge bunches differ from CW pulse trains of
    lower bunch charges
  • A goal for progress in photoemission guns
    develop reliable methods for generating uniformly
    populated (transversely and longitudinally)
    optical pulses to generate uniform charge
    distributions from the cathode and result in
    minimum emittance.

  • 1 The precise hypothesis which succeeds so
    well in correlating the observed effect near the
    threshold is that the photoelectric sensitivity
    or number of electrons emitted per quantum of
    light absorbed is to a first approximation
    proportional to the number of electrons per unit
    volume of the metal whose kinetic energy normal
    to the surface augmented by hn is sufficient to
    overcome the potential step at the surface.
