	The INFN LASA group has a long standing experience in the production of cesium telluride photocathodes for high brightness photoinjectors. The well-established recipe relies on the deposition of a typical amount of 10 nm of Te, followed by the Cs deposition until reaching the maximum QE. Nevertheless, for improving the understanding of photocathode properties, we are investigating the effect of Te thickness on the growing process, evaluating photocathode optical properties and quantum efficiency during the growing process and on the final film. These photocathodes will be then operated and analyzed in the real environment of the RF Gun at the PITZ facility in DESY Zeuthen, to estimate their impact on the electron beam properties.

	Owing to their excellent properties including high quantum efficiency (QE), low emittance, good lifetime and fast response, alkali antimonides photocathodes has been considered as one of the eminent candidates for the electron source of energy recovery linacs (ERL) and free electron lasers (FEL). Nevertheless, their sensitivity to vacuum condition requires specific R&D before they can operate in a RF Gun. For this reason, we have started to develop specifically K-Cs-Sb based multialkali photocathodes at INFN LASA. The primary goal is to develop a stable and reproducible alkali antimonide films on INFN plugs and test them in the photoinjector test facility PITZ at DESY Zeuthen. In this report, we present and discuss about the results so far obtained on KCsSb material and the status of the new preparation system specifically designed for these sensitive materials.
