TUPB13	Beam Dynamics Considerations for APEX a High Repetition Rate Photoinjector	287

	Funding: This work was supported by the Director of the Office of Science of the US Department of Energy under Contract no. DEAC02-05CH11231 The Advanced Photoinjector EXperiment is a photo-injector project at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, designed to test the performance of a high repetition rate (>1 MHz) VHF normal conducting electron gun. The requirements of high beam brightness, as well as significant compression at low energy determine the base setup for the injector transport line. The beam dynamics considerations for a high repetition rate injector are discussed and the potential to use multiple bunch charges that require different tunings of the base setup is explored.

	Funding: This work was supported by the Director of the Office of Science of the US Department of Energy under Contract no. DEAC02-05CH11231 The APEX project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is devoted to the development of a high repetition rate (MHz-class) electron injector for X-ray FEL applications. The injector is based on a new concept photo-gun, utilizing a normal conducting 187 MHz RF cavity operating in CW mode in conjunction with high quantum efficiency photocathodes able to deliver the required repetition rates with available laser technology. The APEX activities are staged in two phases. In Phase I, the electron photo-gun is constructed, tested and several different photo-cathodes, such as alkali antimonides, Cs₂Te [1], diamond amplifiers [2], and metals, are tested at full repetition rate. In Phase II, a pulsed linac is added for accelerating the beam at several tens of MeV to prove the high brightness performance of the gun when integrated in an injector scheme. Based on funding availability, after Phase II, the program could also include testing of new undulator technologies and FEL studies. The status of Phase I, in its initial experimental phase, is described together with plans and activities for Phase II and beyond. [1] In collaboration with INFN-LASA, Milano, Italy.
