TI - Magneto-Optical Trap Cathode for High Brightness Applications J2 - Proc. of IPAC2021, Campinas, SP, Brazil, 24-28 May 2021 CY - Campinas, SP, Brazil T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 12 LA - english AB - Electron bunches extracted from magneto-optical traps (MOTs) via femtosecond photo-ionization and electrostatic acceleration can have significantly lower transverse emittance than emissions from traditional metal cathodes. Such MOT cathodes, however, have two drawbacks: the need for multiple trapping lasers and the limit to ~MV/m fields. Designs exist for MOTs which only require one trapping laser. Our RF simulations in High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) indicate that the cone MOT is the only one compatible with high gradient RF cavities. We present the combination of the two, an RF cavity with a cone-MOT as part of its geometry. It only requires one trapping laser and can use much higher fields. The geometry of the chamber is compatible with a wide range of MOT species, which allows the search for one which is compatible with copper cavities.
