Preparation and Characterisation of ‘Green’ Photocathodes for the Generation of High-Brightness Electron Beams

University of Liverpool Department of Physics

The quality of the electron beam in an accelerator is limited largely by that of the electron source. Fourth generation light sources such as the planned UK X-FEL and ultrafast electron diffraction projects require high-brightness electron sources. Read more
