Sentences with phrase «electron gun»

The new study looked at whether a diamondoid coating could also improve emissions from electron guns.

Now, as part of a unique new X-ray laser project, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are managing the development of a new breed of electron gun that provides a near - continuous stream of electron bunches, and new, highly tunable undulators.

For this study, the scientists used tiny nanopillars of germanium wire as stand - ins for electron gun tips.

The unique electron gun that Filippetto and his team are using is a part of Berkeley Lab's APEX (Advanced Photo - injector EXperiment), which has served as a prototype system for LCLS - II, a next - generation X-ray laser project underway at SLAC National Acceleratory Laboratory in Menlo Park, Calif..

A flyback transformer, sometimes called a line output transformer are used in older CRT TV's and computer monitors to produce the high voltage needed to power the CRT and electron gun.

Now scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have figured out how to increase these electron flows 13,000-fold by applying a single layer of diamondoids — tiny, perfect diamond cages — to an electron gun's sharp gold tip.

They sound like futuristic weapons, but electron guns are actually workhorse tools for research and industry: They emit streams of electrons for electron microscopes, semiconductor patterning equipment and particle accelerators, to name a few important uses.

One way to increase the power of an electron gun is to make the tip really sharp, which makes it easier to get the electrons out, Melosh said.

«To get more oomph from an electron gun, tip it with diamondoids.»

An electron gun attached to the shuttle will fire electrons into the ionosphere, and electrons will flow from the ionosphere to the positively charged satellite, down the tether and back to the shuttle.

These are the guts of the high voltage power supply, which provides juice to the electron gun.

Essentially, they use an electron gun to introduce a low - energy electron beam into a short stretch of the RHIC accelerator.

Daniele Filippetto, a Berkeley Lab scientist who is leading HiRES, has for much of his scientific career focused on building electron sources, also called «electron guns,» that can drive advanced X-ray lasers known as «free - electron lasers.»

These electron guns are designed to produce a chain of high - energy electron pulses that are accelerated and then forced by powerful magnetic fields to give up some of their energy in the form of X-ray light.

An electron gun will fire a beam of electrons, breaking the gas molecules into smaller, charged particles.

In a CRT, an electron gun shoots a stream of electrons that is filtered to become the image that appears on your screen.
