Here we propose to use the APEX photo-gun as novel source for time-resolved electron diffraction studies. The electron source has been designed, built and successfully tested at LBNL. It combines a high accelerating field needed for bright beams, MeV electron energy essential for time resolution in gas-phase experiments and studies of bulk processes, together with continuous (CW) operations. Ultra-short electron pulses can be delivered with a maximum repetition rate of 186 MHz, enabling new science to be studied. We report the design of a dedicated electron diffraction beamline that fits in the space constraints of the APEX tunnel. Simulations of beam properties have been carried out with a genetic optimizer, showing 100 fs time resolution. Beam jitters in energy, time and position are currently being characterized, and a mitigation strategy via fast feedback loops is discussed.

The Advanced Photo-injector EXperiment (APEX) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), consists in the development of an injector designed to demonstrate the capability of the VHF gun, a normal conducting 186 MHz RF gun operating in CW mode, to deliver the brightness required by X-ray FEL applications at MHz repetition rate. APEX is organized in 3 main phases where different aspects of the required performance are gradually demonstrated. The status and future plans for the project are presented.

The APEX electron source at LBNL combines high-repetition-rate and high beam brightness typical of photo-guns, delivering low emittance electron pulses at MHz frequency. Proving the high beam quality of the beam is an essential step for the success of the experiment. It would enable high repetition rate operations for brightness-hungry applications such as X-Ray FELs, and MHz ultrafast electron diffraction. A full 6D characterization of the beam phase space at the gun beam energy (750 keV) is foreseen in the first phase of the project. Diagnostics for low and high current measurements have been installed and tested, measuring the performances of different cathode materials in a RF environment with mA average current. A double-slit system allows the characterization of beam emittance at high charge and full current (mA). An rf deflecting cavity and a high precision spectrometer allow the characterization of the longitudinal phase space. Here we present the latest results at low and high repetition rate, discussing the tools and techniques used.

The design of a 1.3 GHz buncher cavity for the APEX project, a MHz repetition rate high-brightness photoinjector, is presented. The buncher cavity operates at 240 kV in CW mode, and it compresses the 750 keV beam from APEX gun through ballistic compression. Compared with a single cell design, a two-cell cavity doubles the shunt impedance to 7.8 MΩ, which greatly relaxes the requirements for both RF amplifier and cavity cooling. Coupler design, multipacting analysis, HOM analysis and thermal analysis will be presented in this paper.
