It is found that there is a maximal value of charge density per pulse for N number of pulse of equal time separation that can be injected. By comparing with numerical solutions, we obtain an analytical formula, which can quickly provide such upper limit of charge density injection once the values of gap spacing, gap voltage and the initial time separation between the pulses are provided. The model has been verified with the numerical solutions of the equation of motion up to a few MeV of beam energy for which the relativistic effect is included. This work should be useful in the design of multiple pulses of electron guns in the application of ultra-fast electron microscopy or free electron lasers.","PeriodicalId":435469,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130484516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a design with 150 periods and a 3750 V, 10 mA electron beam, a small-signal gain of 36 dB and a saturated output power of 6.65 W is predicted at 30 GHz.
