Femtosecond electron bunches, source and characterization

A femtosecond electron source has been developed at the Fast Neutron Research Facility (FNRF), Chiang Mai University, Thailand. So far, it has produced electron bunches as short as σz∼180 fs with (1-6)×108 electrons per microbunch. The system consists of an RF-gun with a thermionic cathode, an alpha...
