研究目的
Investigating the Coulomb interaction-induced jitter amplification effect in RF-compressed high-brightness electron source ultrafast electron diffraction and proposing optimization methods to suppress this effect.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the Coulomb interaction-induced jitter-amplification effect in high-brightness electron source UED and provides a quantitative explanation for its mechanism. An optimized compact UED structure is proposed to suppress the jitter by half and improve the temporal resolution to sub-100 fs. The findings offer important guidance for the design of photocathode accelerators and other compression-based ultrashort electron pulse generation systems.
研究不足
The jitter-amplification effect cannot be suppressed completely due to the inherent Coulomb interaction in multi-electron pulses. The study also highlights the technical challenges in achieving full compression and the limitations imposed by the synchronization jitter.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves theoretical and experimental demonstration of an RF compression-based jitter-amplification effect in high-brightness electron source UED. The methodology includes detailed analysis and simulations to understand the role of Coulomb interaction in jitter amplification.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experiments are conducted using a home-built compression cavity and a deflection cavity for electron pulse compression and pulse duration measurement. The electron pulses are generated by back-illumination of a gold cathode.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The setup includes a Ti:sapphire oscillator, a signal generator (Agilent N5181B), a network analyzer, a digital frequency synchronizer, RF compression and deflection cavities, and a magnetic lens.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The electron pulses are accelerated to 40 kV, focused and collimated into the RF compression cavity by a magnetic lens, and then the electron pulse duration and timing jitter are measured at the sample position.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The data analysis involves simulations using General Particle Tracer (GPT) and analytical models to understand the jitter-amplification effect and its dependence on Coulomb interaction.
