Funding: work supported by DESY Hamburg and Zeuthen Sites This paper discusses the numerical modelling of electron bunch emission for an L-band normal conducting RF photogun. The main objective is clarifying the discrepancies between measurements and simulations performed for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) injector at DESY-PITZ. An iterative beam dynamics simulation procedure is proposed for the calculation of the total extracted bunch charge under the assumption that the emission source operates at the space-charge limit of the gun. This algorithm has been implemented in the three-dimensional full electromagnetic PIC Solver of the CST Particle Studio (CST-PS)*. Simulation results are in good agreements with measurements for a series of operation parameters. Further comparisons with a conventional Poisson-solver-based (PSB) tracking algorithm demonstrates the great significance of transient electromagnetic field effects for the beam dynamics in high brightness electron sources. * Computer Simulation Technology AG, http://www.cst.com/ |
