Overview of CW electron guns and LCLS-II RF gun performance

Zhou, F.; Adolphsen, C.; Dowell, D.; Xiang, R.

Abstract

Various continuous-wave (CW) electron gun technologies are reviewed, including DC, superconducting radio frequency RF (SRF), hybrid DC-SRF and normalconducting RF. Also, the SLAC Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) normal-conducting RF gun and injector are described, and the performance to date, including the bunch emittance achieved and the dark current observed, is presented.

Keywords: CW; DC gun; SRF gun; NC RF gun; LCLS-II; emittance; dark current
