Cathode ion bombardment in rf photoguns

Abstract: We use the ponderomotive potential of the rf field to accurately describe the motion of ions in an rf gun. We apply the method to the BNL 1=2-cell superconducting radio-frequency photogun and demonstrate that a significant portion of ions produced in the gun can reach the cathode if no special precautions are taken. Also, we propose simple mitigation techniques that can reduce the rate of ion bombardment.

“…For the convenience of instability analysis for a given perturbation wavenumber k, some beam physicists prefer to express the LSC impedances directly as a function of k instead of  (for example, Refs. [2,4,6,7,8,17,22]). If we choose the bunch center as reference point for the longitudinal coordinate, Eqs.…”

“…The longitudinal space charge (LSC) effect plays an important role in the microwave instability of low energy beam with high intensity near or above transition [1][2][3]. It is also one of the important reasons causing the micro-bunching instability for free-electron lasers (FELs) [4].…”

“…The LSC impedances are important factors that should be taken into account in the design and operation of modern particle accelerators, especially the ones with low energy and high beam intensities, which are prone to microwave instabilities induced by the LSC fields [1,2]. It is also important for the Free-Electron Lasers (FELs) where the electron's energy is up to a few GeV but its peak current is on the order of kA [3].…”
