  Photocathode R&D activity within ASTeC is focussed on further development of the tools required for the preparation and characterisation of high performance photocathodes for X-FELs. Our Transverse Energy Spread Spectrometer (TESS)* experimental facility can be used with III-V semiconductor, multi-alkali and metal photocathodes to measure transverse and longitudinal energy distributions of the emitted electrons. Recently TESS has been upgraded to increase the instrument sensitivity for operation with low QE materials under UV illumination. Our R&D facilities also include in-vacuum quantum efficiency measurement, XPS, STM, plus ex-vacuum optical and STM microscopy for surface metrology. Intrinsic photocathode emittance is affected by many factors including illumination wavelength and surface roughness. We present energy distribution measurements for electrons emitted from copper, niobium and zirconium photocathode samples with measured levels of surface roughness under illumination by wavelengths between 256 and 291 nm. We also present an update on progress to establish a multi-alkali photocathode preparation facility to support the CLARA** linear accelerator.

  Low emittance, high QE and long lifetime photocathode is widely studied for X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL)and Energy Recovery Linacs (ERL) applications. A deposition system for alkali antimonide photocathode (K2CsSb, Cs3Sb etc.) is being commissioned at Peking University. In this paper, we present our experimental results on alkali antimonide photocathode with this deposition system. We successfully fabricated Cs3Sb photocathode on oxygen free copper, p-type Si (100) and Mo substrates with QE of 1.4%, 2.6% and 2.6% respectively.
