Items for discussion

Max:

  1. R28-2 beam dynamics: CST agrees now POISSON on beam waist and focal length.
  2. R28-2 beam-based measurements in progress at UITF to compare gun optics against models.
  3. R30-3: There is still a discrepancy in focal length. In beam waist size between CST and POISSON for the R30 gun.

Alicia:

  1. Looking at a set of simulations done preparing for the Fall 2023 run with the R30-3 and R28-2 guns at 200 kV to show what the beam characteristics are at a field-free region between the gun and the first solenoid (roughly 20 cm). The simulations all use the same initial beam characteristics at the cathode, so essentially the only change between the simulations is the gun itself.
  2. The location of the center of the first solenoid from the cathode: MFX2I01 z = 0.780796 meters.

Gabriel:

  1. Worked with Keith on the two puck models: the 625 and the 350. Both agree on the gap between the puck crown and the GaAs plane: 0.18 mm.
  2. Benchmarked R28-2 CST-GPT with POISSON-GPT looking at beam envelope. This includes using the same Pierce angle, hole diameter, and position of GaAs plane.
  3. Performed beam envelope GTP modeling for various Pierce angles with the R30-4 gun, and compared to the R28-2 gun.
  4. The best angle for R30-4 seems to be 18 degrees from Max’s POISSON model, but Gabriel’s CST model says is 13 degrees.

  2. In the longer run, we need to determine interface points that correspond with locations amenable to measurement. There was also the suggestion to do simulations starting at the first solenoid varying the beam size and divergence to find a range that is good for the injector. Likely these two will not done for next week's meeting.

Gabriel:

  2. Evaluate the gradient at the junction between the Pierce front end piece and the spherical cathode for the angles indicated

Carlos:
