107 108 109 1010For single shot electron diffraction and microscopy the number of particles per bunch should be enough to allow sufficient contrast in the diffraction pattern/image. For a diffraction pattern of a single crystal, we only need 105particles. At least 108 particles are required to form an image.
1‐10 pC per bunch enable the generation of beams with smaller transverse and longitudinal normalized emittances. The resulting improved beam quality allows for shorter FEL gain lengths at a relatively moderate electron beam energy.
The main operational mode for X‐Ray FELs relies on a charge/bunch of a few 100s pC, a satisfactory tradeoff between the number of photons/pulse and a moderate
transverse emittance
Experiments in FELs and ERLs requiring large number of photons per pulse or very narrow transform limited photon bandwidth in seeded FEL schemes require longer bunches and hence higher charges per bunch that can approach the nC.
Beams for HEP and plasma wakefield drivers require very
large charges, over 1 nC
Particles per bunch. Charge. One of the most important parameter of a (pulsed) electron source. Peak current is not preserved since the bunch length can be controlled using
compression techniques.
Beam brightness: early historyIntuitively the peak current is an important parameter of thebeam, but it is also important to be able to collimate and focus thebeam.
In 1939 von Borries and Ruska (Nobel prize in Physics for theinvention of the Electron Microscope) introduced the so‐calledbeam brightness (“Richstrahlwert”) defined as:
Empirically constant along the microscope column. The smaller the spot the larger the divergence.
This definition still holds today in the field of electron microscopy with peak numbers of Bmicr up to 1013 Amps/m2/sr

5D beam brightnessThe 5D brightness is often used in FEL community to compare electron sources and it is the relativistic analog of the microscope brightness
For example it enters directly in FEL parameter The main difference with electron microscopy brightness is the use of normalized
emittances to take into account relativistic effects.

ρ is the FEL parameter. It is important to have it as high as possible(~10‐3), since:
P. Musumeci, SSSEPB, SLAC, July 2013
For high average power applications typically we are interested in the total amount of charge per second. For these applications people often use the 4D brightness
where the longitudinal beam properties are not considered. The average 5D brightness will be B4D f where f is the repetition rate of the accelerator.
Another reason to introduce the 4D brightness is due to the development of bunch compressors which can reduce the bunch length by many times, increasing the final current (and thus 5D brightness).
Average and 4D beam brightness

Liouville’s theorem
Liouville theorem states that for Hamiltonian systems the phase space density stays constant.
As long as the particle dynamics in the beamline elements (transport optics, accelerating sections) can be described by Hamiltonian functions (no binary collisions, stochastic processes, etc. ), the phase space density will stay constant throughout the accelerator.
The phase space density obtained at the electron source is a critical parameter.
It follows that research in optimizing electron sources is crucial in the field of particle accelerator. It makes sense to classify the various electron sources based on the 6D phase space density at the source.
In practice 6D brightness is hard to measure !
P. Musumeci, SSSEPB, SLAC, July 2013
6D beam brightnessThe meaningful quantity to use to describe electron sources should then be the 6D beam brightness defined as
66
0
nxnynz
where V6D is the volume occupied by the beam in the 6D phase space (x, px, y, py, z, pz).
V6D is proportional to the product of the 3 rms normalized emittances nxnynz• Neglecting factors of and m0c• RMS emittances are conserved only when linear forces act on the
distribution.• There might be regions of the beam (usually the center) where the phase
space density is higher. Filtering particles increases the brightness, at the expenses of beam charge.
• Ratio between peak center brightness and rms beam brightness typically depends on the beam distribution. (for 3D gaussian F = 1/8)
P. Musumeci, SSSEPB, SLAC, July 2013
Brightness quantum limitPauli exclusion principle prevents electrons from being in the same quantum state.
Since the elementary quantum of phase space area is set by Heisenberg uncertainty principle, we find a quantum limit for the maximum beam brightness
No beam can ever beat this limit. In practice state‐of‐the‐art electron sources, as we will see, do not even come close and have B6D ~ 10‐4 Bquantum or worse.
We can introduce the Degeneracy Factor representing the number of particles per elementary volume of phase space

Number of electrons per transverse coherence area
• A coherent photon beam has all the particles in the same quantum state.
• A coherence electron beam will have degeneracy factor approaching 1
• Beam coherence is important for some applications such as for example coherent diffractive imaging.
• In particular no coherent imaging is possible if the number of electrons per coherent transverse area of the beam is smaller than one.
• TEM solution is to use very long pulse (very large longitudinal emittance) to recover transverse coherence.

Single‐electron beam brightness
• To avoid space charge effects, in some applications beams formed by a single electron are used.
• But a single electron beam does not mean a quantum degenerate beam !• Brightness is still limited by the electron source type.• Beam parameters in this case have statistical meaning.

Cathode physics• Cathodes are obviously a fundamental part of electron sources. The
gun performance heavily depends on cathodes.• Photocathodes are most commonly used in present injector
systems with one notable exception (SACLA XFEL uses a thermoionic cathode)
• In the lower charge regime the ultimate brightness performance of the linac is set by the cathode intrinsic emittance.
• In high repetition rates photo‐sources high quantum efficiency photocathodes are required to operate with present laser technology
• Advanced cathodes is an active area of research (photoassistedfield emission, needle arrays, photo‐thermoionic, diamond amplifier, nanopatterned cathodes, …)

Quantum efficiency• Quantum efficiency: Number of photo‐emitted electrons per photon
impinging on the cathode.– High QE at the longest possible wavelength. – Fast response time: <100 ps– Uniform emission
P. Musumeci, SSSEPB, SLAC, July 2013
Thermal/Intrinsic emittance• Thermal emittance: Spread in velocities of emitted electrons
– As low as possible– Atomically flat surface: ~few nm p‐p, to minimize emittance growth
due to surface roughness and space charge– Tunable, controllable with photon wavelength– Better at cryogenic temperatures?
• Lifetime, survivability, robustness, operational properties– Require >1 year of operating lifetime– reasonable vacuum level: 10‐10 Torr range– Easy, reliable cathode cleaning or rejuvenation or re‐activation– Low field emission at high electric fields– Reliable installation and replacement system (load lock)

Common photocathodes
Electron initial distributionElectron are fermions. Thus, the probability of occupied single‐particle energy states in a crystalline solid obey the Fermi‐Dirac distribution:
where Ef is the Fermi level (metal physics).For high energy tails (E>Ef) the FD distribution and the Maxwell‐Boltzmann distribution coincide, and the simpler MB can be used
the MB distribution is the approximation of FD and BE distr. in case of high energies and low densities (interactions between particles negligible)
In calculating the probability of electron escape from a material, the specific emission process determines what distribution to use.The MB distribution (high energy tails) is used for thermionic emission, while field and photo‐emission calculations use the FD distribution, since the excited electrons come from energy levels below the Fermi level

Multiphoton photoemission• “Violating” Einstein photoelectric effect…
o For a given metal and frequency of incident radiation, the rate at which photoelectrons are ejected is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light.
o For a given metal, there exists a certain minimum frequency of incident radiation below which no photoelectrons can be emitted. This frequency is called the threshold frequency

Save laser energy. Use IR photons on the cathode
Question: Why hasn’t this been done before? Recent interest in pancake regime. Ultrashort beam at cathode => uniformly filled
ellipsoidal beam. Very high extraction field in RF photoinjector: away from space‐charge induced
emission cutoff. (Early experiments using low gradient setups.) Damage threshold few 100 GW/cm2 at sub‐100 fs pulse lengths. AR coating on the cathode improves charge yield. (at Pegasus 2 J of 800 nm ‐> 50 pC )
BUT conversion efficiency is ~10%
Autocorrelation of two IR pulses on the cathode shows promptness of emission.

Space charge effects in emissionChild Langmuir Law
As emitted particles come out from the cathode they create their own electric field. This field in the beam tail field is opposed to the external field, growing with the
extracted charge. The effective total potential is distorted by this field. The potential distortion creates asymmetries in the electron beam (tails) and sets a
maximum extractable current in the steady state regime The maximum current is given by the Child‐Langmuir law

Time dependent behaviourWhat happens if we force more current density than CL limit into the diode?
As injected current increase the space charge potential increases, slowing down particles.If enough current is injected, the SC potential energy becomes higher than the particle kinetic energy and some particles will eventually stop and reflect back to the photocathode (Virtual cathode).The reflection weaken the SC potential and the emission starts againThis phenomena is called VIRTUAL CATHODE INSTABILITY.

Virtual cathode instability observedin a photo‐injector
The oscillation frequency is a function of the current densityand the e‐beam momentum (plasma frequency)
P. Musumeci, SSSEPB, SLAC, July 2013
Maximum Brightness for photoinjectorsUsing the space charge limited charge density, we can find a limit on the transverse emittanceand then on the beam brightness.
For pancake aspect ratios, the maximum transverse brightness does not depend on the beam charge!!! It only depends on the acceleration field and on the emission process.
The above brightness limit, such as the minimum emittance values calculated in the previous slide, consider a beam extraction at the onset of the virtual cathode formation. In practice, extracting beams with charge density close to the SCL limit may lower the overall brightness of the beam

Electron capture and accelerationLength needed by the acc. electron to gain 1 unit of .
Capture parameter. It should be greaterthan 1, so that electrons become relativistic withinhalf the rf period, and are thus captured by the forward wave of the field
Intuitively, an electron is captured when it gains enough momentum from the wave to “surf” it until the exit of the cavity, without slipping back todecelerating phases.
Shorter wavelengths require higher fields!At LCLS α ~ 2; Lc= 4 mm
The fast acceleration peculiar of rf guns is crucial inmaintaining the beam characteristics set by the laserbeam (current, shape, starting emittance…). It greatlydiminishes the effect of space charge forces (later)

Solenoid focusingin a solenoid lens the beam gets focused and rotated:
<0, focusing •parallel beam at the entrance,•thin lens, r~const inside the lens
solving the paraxial equation we find, for a lens of length L:
The fringe field (divergence of B=0) is the key for beam focusing.The particle interact with Br in the fringe and acquire a transverse velocity that inside the solenoid couples with Bz generating a net transverse force
used in the derivation of paraxial equation
Magnetic EmittanceIf particles born in a region where static magnetic field is present, a transverse momentumis added to their intrinsic one, that leads to an emittance increase. The conservation of canonical momentum leads to the Busch’s theorem:
For a constant magnetic field Bz =B0 in the considered surface S: initial uniform distributionwith xrms=r0/2
Also, out from the magnetic field, the beam will keep a net defocusing kick x’:

Aberrations and emittance growth in solenoids:chromatic effects
Because of rf (and space charge) defocusing it is important to focus the beam right after the gunwith strong magnetic fields. Solenoids are usually used at low energies, because of their abilityof focusing at the same time in both transverse planes.By comparing the centrifugal and the Lorentz force on a particle with an external magnetic fieldwe find the magnetic rigidity:
the bending radius ρ is energy dependent. Substituting into the formula for k we find:
the sol. focal length is energy dependent (1/f=ksin(kL))

if we introduce the Larmor frame which is a rotating frame with angular velocity ωL=dϑ/dt, then we have pϑ=0. We can then solve the equation without the last term, and then calculate the particle angle respect to the stationary frame:

We now want to write the equation for the beam envelope. It can be derived from theparaxial equation (single particle) by averaging over the distribution:
multiply by rand average
Using the relations:
The envelope equation describes the evolution of transverse electron beam momentsin hypothesis of linear fields. In the same hypothesis later we will add a term coming fromself field forces. The emittance enters in the equation as a source of pressure.
