Low-emittance radio-frequency electron gun using a gridded thermionic cathode

We developed an electron gun system capable of delivering high brightness beams to drive soft x-ray free-electron lasers (SXFEL). We modified the conventional radio-frequency (rf) gun concept by using a 50-kV gun with a gridded thermionic cathode connected with a 238-MHz acceleration cavity. We achi...
