TI - Low Energy Beam Tracking Under Scattering for a Cold Electron Source in Manchester J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - High quality electron beams, with high spatial and temporal resolution, have an important use in electron diffraction experiments to probe and study the constituents of matter. A cold electron source is being developed based on electron ionisation from an atom cloud trapped by using AC magneto-optical methods in the University of Manchester. The technique will produce bunches of electrons well suited for high precision and single shot electron diffraction. In this paper issues of modelling at low energies for this state of art electron source with very low energy spread are presented, with a focus on newly developed tools to model the scattering in the meshes used to support the extraction electric fields. The dependence on emittance growth on mesh wire thickness is studied.
