Demonstration of sub-GV/m accelerating field in a photoemission electron gun powered by nanosecond X-band radio-frequency pulses

Radio-frequency (rf) photoemission electron guns operating at higher accelerating gradients offer a pathway to produce brighter electron bunches. Brighter beams are expected to revolutionize many areas of science: they could form the backbone of next-generation compact x-ray free-electron lasers or...
