  ASTeC have spent several years developing a GaAs Photocathode Preparation Facility (PPF) which routinely produces cathodes with quantum efficiencies (Q.E.) up to 20% at 635 nm*. The goal is to use these cathodes in high-average-current high-brightness injectors for particle accelerators. Electron injector brightness is driven by photocathode emittance, and brightness will be increased significantly by reducing the longitudinal and transverse energy spread. We are constructing an experimental system for measurement of the horizontal and transverse energy spreads at room and LN2-temperature which accepts photocathodes from the PPF. The sample will be illuminated by a small, variable-wavelength light spot. The beam image will be projected onto a detector comprised of 3 grids which act as an energy filter, a micro-channel plate and a phosphor screen. A low-noise CCD camera will capture screen images, and the electron distribution and energy spread will be extracted through analysis of these images as a function of the grid potentials. The system will include a leak valve to progressively degrade the cathode, and thus allow its properties to be measured as a function of Q.E.

  The completion of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators has now culminated with the successful assembly of an integrated cryomodule, following an intensive 5 years of development evolution. The cryomodule, which incorporates 2 x 7-cell 1.3 GHz accelerating structures, 3 separate layers of magnetic shielding, fully adjustable & high power input couplers and fast piezo tuners, has been installed on the ALICE ERL facility at Daresbury Laboratory. It is intended that this will permit operational optimisation for maximised efficiency demonstration, through increased Qext adjustment whilst retaining both effective energy recovery and IR-FEL lasing. The collaborative design processes employed in completing this new cryomodule development are explained, along with the assembly and implementation procedures used to facilitate its successful installation on the ALICE ERL facility.

  Recent UK government funding has facilitated the implementation of a unique accelerator test facility which can provide enabling infrastructures targeted for the development and testing of novel and compact accelerator technologies, specifically through partnership with industry and aimed at addressing applications for medicine, health, security, energy and industrial processing. The infrastructure provision on the Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (DSIC) will permit research into areas of accelerator technologies which have the potential to revolutionise the cost, compactness and efficiency of such systems. The main element of the infrastructure will be a high performance and flexible electron beam injector facility, feeding customised state-of-the-art testing enclosures and associated support infrastructure. The facility operating parameters and implementation status will be described, along with primary areas of commercialised technology development opportunities.
