A 100 MHz thermionic rf gun is under consideration as the electron source for the X-ray Free Electron Laser Oscillator*. Because the source must operate continuously, back-bombardment of the cathode is a serious concern. We present results of simulations of back-bombardment, as well as strategies for reducing the back-bombardment power on the cathode. *K. J. Kim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 244802 (2008) |
