Recent investigations have shown that it is possible to obtain an order of magnitude smaller intrinsic emittance from photocathodes by precise atomic scale control of the surface, using an appropriate electronic band structure of single crystal cathodes and cryogenically cooling the cathode. Investigating the performance of such cathodes requires atomic scale surface diagnostic techniques connected in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) to the epitaxial thin film growth and surface preparation systems and photo-emission and photocathode diagnostic techniques. Here we report the capabilities and design of the laboratory being built at the Arizona State University for this purpose. The lab houses a 200 kV DC gun with a cryogenically cooled cathode along with a beam diagnostics and ultra fast electron diffraction beamline. The cathode of the gun can be transported in UHV to a suite of UHV growth chambers and surface and photoemission diagnostic techniques.
