The Kimball Physics EGF-6104 Electron Gun, with its matching EGPS-6104 Power Supply, is intended for use in a variety of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) charging studies, space physics, vacuum physics, surface physics, and nuclear simulation applications. Maximum flexibility is achieved in a minimum of space; the entire unit mounts through a single standard 2.75” inch CF port. It is a complete subsystem ready to attach and turn on.
Electrons are generated at negative high potential; thus, the user’s target is set at ground potential. Both beam energy and beam current are adjustable over wide ranges. The gun uses a space-charge-limited refractory-metal cathode to generate a uniform flood beam and the design allows generation of the beam down to low energies, and very low currents. Beam divergence is partially controllable electronically and can be mechanically limited with optional apertures. Standard model beam current is 200 μA. With a high current option, beam currents up to 5 mA can be obtained. The EGF-6104 utilizes optional 4-pole magnetic deflection to position and improve in beam current uniformity.
