Abstract
- The proposed electron ion collider, eRHIC, requires large average polarized electron current of 50mA, which is more than 20 times higher than the present experiment results of single polarization source, such as GaAs. To achieve the current requirement of eRHIC, we have designed the multi-cathode DC electron gun for injection. 24 GaAs cathodes will be prepared and emit electrons at the arranged pattern. Despite of ultra-high vacuum and precise timing, multi-cathode DC electron gun has high demand on the electric field symmetry, magnetic field shielding, and arcing prevention. In the paper, we present the 3D simulation results of the latest model for the multi-cathode DC electron gun. The results will give guidance to the actual design in the future.<br />Proceedings of the 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2010, Kyoto, Japan
