Nanometer emittance ultralow charge beams from rf photoinjectors

In this paper we discuss the generation of a new class of high brightness relativistic electron beams, characterized by ultralow charge (0.1–1 pC) and ultralow normalized emittance (<50  nm). These beams are created in rf photoinjectors when the laser is focused on the cathode to very small trans...
