Demonstration of ultra-low emittance beams in a kHz laser wakefield accelerator and application to electron diffraction
J. Monzac, S. Smartsev, J. Huijts +12
We present a compact, cost-effective method for measuring the emittance of kHz-repetition-rate laser-wakefield accelerated electron beams using a permanent solenoid. The measured n…

The Coming of Age of the Ultracold Electron Source: A Review
Julius Huijts, Jom Luiten
The ultracold electron source is a unique approach to the generation of high-brightness electron beams. We give an overview of its development over the past 20 years, including the…
