TI - Studying the Emission Characteristics of Field Emission Cathodes with Various Geometries J2 - Proc. of NAPAC2022, Albuquerque, NM, USA, 07-12 August 2022 CY - Albuquerque, NM, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 5 LA - english AB - The cathode test stand (CTS) at LANL is designed to hold off voltages of up to 500kV and can supply pulse durations up to 2.6 μs. Using this test stand, we are able to test both field emission and photocathodes with different geometries and materials at various pulse lengths and PFN voltages. Currently, the test stand is used to evaluate field emission using a velvet cathode over various pulse lengths. The CTS employs various diagnostic tools, including E-dots, B-dots, and a scintillator coupled with a pepperpot mask in order to measure the extracted voltage, current, beam distribution, and transverse emittance. Xenos [1] has been used to create and simulate diode geometries that permits study to optimize various beam parameters. These geometries include changing the size and recess of the cathode as well as implementing a Pierce geometry. Here, we will discuss comparisons for various simulated cathodes and how changes in geometry impact given beam parameters.
