  The paper describes the recent results of conditioning and dark current measurements for the photocathode RF gun at the photoinjector test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The aim of PITZ is to develop and operate an optimized photo injector for free electron lasers and linear accelerators which require high quality beams. In order to get high gradients in the RF gun extensive conditioning is required. A data analysis of the conditioning process is based on data saved by a Data Acquisition system (DAQ). Conditioning results of the first gun cavity for the XFEL is presented. The events which occurred during the conditioning are briefly described.

A 3½-cell SRF-gun has been developed and commissioned in Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) since 2004. The emittance of this gun was measured before by both solenoid/quadrupole scanning method and multiple slits method. Recently we did new measurements by single slit scanning method which outputs a detailed phase space with higher space resolution and no overlapping problem. This contribution will first describe our diagnostics beam line and software functions, focusing on data processing algorithm. Then an investigation will be presented on the emittance dependence on several important gun parameters as bunch charge, laser phase and DC voltage on the photo cathode. For the bunch charge, a linear increasing relation with the emittance was found. Lower laser phase and higher DC voltage result in lower beam emittance. The influence of a downstream solenoid is studied for the preliminary understanding of the emittance compensation. The contribution will discuss the measurement errors and compare results with other methods. Also, ASTRA simulations of the SRF-gun beams with same parameters will be presented which have similar trends like our measurements.

  The two-dimensional theory of the Smith-Purcell free-electron laser predicts that coherent Smith-Purcell radiation can occur only at harmonics of the frequency of the evanescent wave that is resonant with the beam. Particle-in-cell simulations have shown that in a three-dimensional context, where the lamellar grating has sidewalls, coherent Smith-Purcell radiation can be copiously emitted at the fundamental frequency, for a well-defined range of beam energy. An experiment at microwave frequencies has confirmed this prediction . The power output is considerably greater than for the previously observed emission at the second harmonic, in agreement with three-dimensional simulations . The dependence of frequency on beam energy and emission angle is in good agreement with three-dimensional theory and simulations. Provided that a reduction in scale can be achieved, a path is open to coherent Smith-Purcell radiation at Terahertz frequencies.
