A solenoid was built and installed in an ultra-high vacuum environment which guides and condenses electrons from the output charge cloud of a microchannel plate amplifier into a high-intensity, condensed electron beam. A low-intensity electron signal was input into the signal amplifier, where the external magnetic field generated by the solenoid resulted in a higher flux of electrons reaching the electron detector. High-current hardware was developed which pulses the solenoid for 10-ms at a peak current of 14.2 A, generating a peak magnetic field of 285.2 Gauss. The applied magnetic field increases the dynamic range of the electron image, with the observed intensity range increasing by a factor of up to 3.95. The average image intensity increased by a factor of up to 15.0 while the solenoid was pulsed. For a fixed microchannel plate bias, the accelerating grid and phosphor imaging plate high-voltage biases were swept to characterize the beam under different experimental conditions. The raw intensity distributions of the beams were profiled and fit to Gaussian distributions. Beams under the different experimental biases were imaged, and ellipses were fit to their intensity distributions. One standard deviation above each sample’s mean intensity, the resultant beams had an average beam size of 82.3 mm2, ellipse ratio of 0.77, offset from the origin on 4.38 mm, and rotation of 130.5°. The different beam images were post-processed, analyzed, and overlayed relative to each other using computer-aided design software to illustrate the relative beam sizes and intensities on the phosphor screen.
