Tutorial

High-brightness electron injectors are foundational to the performance of modern particle accelerators, enabling applications from X-ray free-electron lasers to ultrafast electron diffraction and advanced accelerator concepts. This tutorial will provide an overview of the physics and design principles underlying high-brightness injectors, including photocathode radiofrequency (RF) guns, beam...
