  PHIL (“PHoto-Injector at LAL") is a new electron beam accelerator at LAL. This accelerator is dedicated to test and characterize electron RF-guns and to deliver electron beam to users. This machine has been designed to produce and characterise low energy (E<10 MeV), small emittance (e<10 p.mm.mrad), high brilliance electrons bunch at low repetition frequency (n<10Hz). The first beam has been obtained on the 4th of November 2009. The current RF-gun tested on PHIL is the AlphaX gun, a 2.5 cell S-band cavity designed by LAL for the plasma accelerator studies performed at the Strathclyde university. This paper will present the first AlphaX RF-gun characterizations performed at LAL on PHIL accelerator, and will show comparisons between measurements and PARMELA simulations.
