The Kimball Physics EGH-6210 Electron Gun, with its matching EGPS-6210 Power Supply, is a complete subsystem ready to attach to the user’s vacuum system and turn on.  It can deliver electrons over a very broad range of energies, currents, and power. The EGH-6210 has applications in space materials testing, radiation studies, semiconductor research, x-ray generation and plasma excitation.

The gun uses a single-crystal lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) cathode to generate a high energy, focusable, small spot electron beam. Both beam energy and beam current are independently adjustable over wide ranges; the energy from 1 keV to 60 keV, and current from 10 μA to 5 mA. The electron beam can be pulsed by an input signal to the control grid.

The adjustable optics of the gun can adapt to different divergences and a range of working distances, suitable to a variety of applications. The magnetic focusing lens can vary the spot size from 10 mm down to 50 μm. The magnetic centering and optional shaping coils provide additional beam control, allowing the user to deflect and shape the electron beam. Shaping typically results in an elliptical beam, both axes of which can be independently compressed or extended. The magnetostatic focusing lens and the deflection shaping quadrupole both produce results with low aberration. In addition, the cathode to anode spacing is internally adjustable to change perveance.

The gun features an adjustable cathode feedthrough assembly that allows the mechanical alignment of the firing unit with respect to the anode and the column. This alignment can be done in real-time while the gun is operating with beam on.
