Funding: This work was funded in part by the Department of Energy, Grant No. DE-FG02-07ER84910 and Grant No. DE-FG02-95ER40919, and the MIT Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation. High-brightness space-charge-dominated elliptic electron or ion beams have wide applications in high-power rf sources, particle accelerators, and/or ion implantation. Building upon recent inventions and theoretical studies on the generation and transport of elliptic charged-particle beams, a basic research and development program is being carried out to experimentally demonstrate a high-brightness, space-charge-dominated elliptic electron beam using a non-axisymmetric permanent magnet focusing system and an elliptic electron gun. Results of the design of such an elliptic electron beam system are presented. |
