Cathode ContaminationCathode Contamination
Three sources of cathode contamination
•Residual contaminants left by fabrication, handling and storage•Contamination by the gun vacuum
•Ambient vacuum•Operating vacuum
•Contamination during operation due to molecular cracking:• By the laser•By the electron beam
For LCLS contamination by molecular cracking is the most problematic.
Electron beam emission image of the cathode after >1 year of operation. The UV laser beam has left a QE hole at its location.
This will be discussed in more detail in the Cathodes Overview talk on Thursday

Assume all linear and non-linear space charge effects can be corrected/compensated for,assume the cathode is perfectly flat and the cathode physics is correct. Then the lower limit on the emittance depends on the thermal emittance for the divergence and the space charge limit for the beam size:

Summary and ConclusionsSummary and Conclusions
•Design Features of the LCLS gun and injector:•Optimum emittance compensation, Ferrario working point•Increased RF mode separation to minimize RF mode beating
•Restores field balance between cells•Reduces correlated energy spread => chromatic aberration in solenoid•Gun RF tuning and field balance is more tolerant to geometry and temperature
•Symmetric RF fields in gun and s-band linacs: elimination of dipole and quadrupole field errors•Emittance compensation solenoid field with quadrupole correctors: Mostly effective at high charge•Z-coupling to minimize pulsed heating for long gun life•Improved cooling for 120 Hz operation•Full wakefield mitigation in gun-to-linac beamline•Stable and reliable diode-pumped drive laser•Cathode surface roughness less than 40 nm peak-to-peak, low dark current, low thermal emittance
•The ultimate emittance based on thermal emission and the space charge limit•Improving the LCLS gun performance:
•“Three issues: cathodes, cathodes, cathodes!!“, G. Neil •QE robustness and uniformity. (see Cathode Overview talk)
•Large (apparent) low charge emittance in gun•High thermal emittance? Poor theory? Poor measurement?•Growth due to surface roughness, aberrations etc.?
•Understand role of solenoid quadrupole in emittance compensation•Correcting for quadrupole space charge fields?•Correcting spherical aberration of solenoid?
•Good diagnostics are essential!And did I mention cathodes?
