TI - Cathode Ion Bombardment in LCLS and LCLS-II RF Gun J2 - Proc. of FEL2015 AB - This paper studies the ions bombardment on the cathode in the LCLS and LCLS-II gun. APEX gun is used here for LCLS-II, which will be operate at 1 MHz repetition rate. Therefore, It is important to estimate the ion bombardment. One specific PIC code is used track arbitrary particles (ions and electron here) in arbitrary 2D/3D electromagnetic field and solenoid field to estimate the possibility of ion bombardment. The LCLS gun has 1.6 cells while the LCLS-II gun (APEX gun) is a half-cell gun. The frequencies of the two guns are also quite different. These characters make the ion dynamics quite differently. We estimated the bombardment for various ion species and studied the effects RF pulse shape and RF phase PB - JACoW CY - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 534 EP - 539 KW - ion KW - cathode KW - gun KW - cavity KW - solenoid DA - 2015/12 PY - 2015 SN - 978-3-95450-134-2 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-FEL2015-TUP072 UR - http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/AccelConf/FEL2015/papers/tup072.pdf ER -
