An innovative research 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. Results of the fabrication, initial testing and beam imaging of an elliptic electron gun are reported. Good agreement is found between the experimental measurements and simulation.

Charged-particle motion is studied in the self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a well-matched, intense charged-particle beam and an applied periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing field. The beam is assumed to be in a state of adiabatic thermal equilibrium. The phase space is analyzed and compared with that of the well-known Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV)-type beam equilibrium. It is found that the widths of nonlinear resonances in the adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium are narrower than those in the KV-type beam equilibrium. Numerical evidence is presented, indicating almost complete elimination of chaotic particle motion in the adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium.

Adiabatic thermal equilibrium is an important state of a charged-particle beam. The rigid-rotor thermal beam equilibrium in a uniform magnetic focusing field is established. The equivalent kinetic and warm-fluid theories of adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium in a periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing field are discussed. Good agreement between theories and experiment is found. The warm-fluid theory of adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium in an alternating-gradient quadrupole magnetic focusing field is discussed. For the periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing field, charged-particle dynamics in the adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium are studied numerically and compared with those in the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) type beam equilibrium. Numerical evidence is presented, indicating almost complete elimination of chaotic particle motion in the adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium.
