Abstract :
A charged particle beam can be given a longitudinal kinetic energy spread through focusing by magnetic solenoid lenses. Measurements of energy spread are reported and are compared with the results of computer simulations, which include several known sources of energy spread. These sources are discussed. The results of the measurements and the simulations agree, giving energy spreads which are two orders of magnitude larger than the initial thermal energy spread
