چکیده
Superconducting rf photo-electron injectors (SRF photoinjectors) hold the promise to deliver high brightness, high average current electron beams for future light sources or other applications demanding continuous wave operation of an electron injector. This paper discusses results from beam commissioning of a hybrid SRF photoinjector based on a Pb coated plug and a Nb rf gun cavity for beam energies up to 2.5MeV at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). Emittance measurements and transverse phase space characterization with solenoid-scan and slitmask methods will be presented.

The superconducting RF photoinjector (SRF gun) operating with a 31⁄2-cell niobium cavity and Cs2Te photocathodes is installed at the ELBE radiation center. Since 2012 a new UV driver laser system developed by MBI has been installed for the SRF gun. It delivers CW or burst mode pulses with 13 MHz repetition rate or with reduced rates of 500, 200, and 100 kHz at an average UV laser power of about...

متن کاملCharacterization of a Superconducting Pb Photocathode in a SRF Gun Cavity
Photocathodes are a limiting factor for the next generation of ultra-high brightness photoinjector driven accelerators. We studied the behavior of a superconducting Pb cathode in the cryogenic environment of a superconducting RF gun cavity related to the quantum efficiency (QE), its spatial distribution and the work function. The cathode surface contaminations can modify the performance of the ...
