Research abstract
Diamond electron amplifiers (DEA) are able to greatly increase the number of electrons emitted from a source while at the same time improving the quality of the amplified electron beam, e.g., producing low emittance and narrow energy spread beams. During Phase I, we propose to 1) perform experiments on a testbed DEA, 2) enhance an existing analytical model of the DEA using data from the testbed DEA, and 3) investigate ways to improve the DEA performance. These results will be used to design a prototype DEA that will be built and demonstrated during Phase II. We will also identify technical risks and methods for addressing them.
