Next generation x-ray sources require very high-brightness electron beams that are typically at or beyond the present state-of-the-art, and thus place stringent demanding requirements upon injector parameters. No one source concept is suitable for all diverse applications envisaged, which have operating characteristics ranging from high-average-current, quasi-CW, to high-peak-current, single-pulse beams. Advanced Energy Systems, in collaboration with various partners, developing several...
