| A CeB6 thermionic cathode is used for the electron gun of the X-ray free-electron laser, SACLA. An operation time of a CeB6 thermionic cathode is typically limited to only one year or so due to decrease in emission currents. Since a work function is the most dominant factor in emission current, we have been developing an in-situ measurement system for the work function of the CeB6 thermionic cathode under simulative conditions of the real electron gun to investigate mechanism of this cathode degradation. The developed system adopts the photoelectron yield spectroscopy using excitation lights from a nanosecond tunable Nd:YAG laser system. In the measurement system, the photoelectron pulse signal was distorted in profile because of reflections of the photoelectron pulse signal in the simulative anode plate ( 12 cm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness ) of the real electron gun and in the signal line in vacuum. A coaxial cable of 50 ohms in impedance in vacuum and an anode cylinder ( 5 mm in diameter and 9 mm in length ) enabled the photoelectron pulse signal to be a single nanosecond pulse with a long tail. In this paper, we report the detail of the impedance matching. |
