This paper presents a comprehensive design for a multiple cathode electron beam system optimized for beam quality and efficiency. Key parameters include a bunch charge of 5nC, average current of 50mA, and transverse emittance of less than 70 mm.mrad. The configuration integrates advanced components such as a Gatling gun, third harmonic cavity, and ballistic compression techniques, ensuring high energy spread and optimal performance at 10MeV. Preliminary simulation results validate the design, indicating strong potential for achieving required beam specifications.

Conclusions • The present optimized deflection angle is 20deg. • Beam quality is strongly related to HV. 250kV or higher is desired. • Longer initial bunch (1ns) with lower RF frequency cavities gives better results. • Ballistic compression is the most effective way compressing the bunch at this energy level. • This preliminary simulation has given us confidence of achieving the required beam.
