AbstractHigh brightness, high charge electron beams are critical for a number of advanced accelerator applications. The initial emittance of the electron beam, which is determined by the mean transverse energy (MTE) and laser spot size, is one of the most important parameters determining the beam quality. The bialkali photocathodes illuminated by a visible laser have the advantages of high quantum efficiency (QE) and low MTE. Furthermore, Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) guns can operate in the continuous wave (CW) mode at high accelerating gradients, e.g. with significant reduction of the laser spot size at the photocathode. Combining the bialkali photocathode with the SRF gun enables generation of high charge, high brightness, and possibly high average current electron beams. However, integrating the high QE semiconductor photocathode into the SRF guns has been challenging. In this article, we report on the development of bialkali photocathodes for successful operation in the SRF gun with months-long lifetime while delivering CW beams with nano-coulomb charge per bunch. This achievement opens a new era for high charge, high brightness CW electron beams.

Processing Steps

Results combining efforts of different groups on investigation of losses in superconducting radio frequency cavities made of niobium are presented. Peculiarities of such losses and of their remedies are considered for dissipation at high accelerating voltages. The main results of RF tests as well as main experiments conducted via physico-chemical research methods on samples are discussed. The role of different type of defects on losses is presented. The candidate mechanisms for dissipation are considered based on exhibited results. As a conclusion the prediction is made on possible alternative processing steps for improvement of cost, time and safety efficiency of current technological procedures
