The work at Stony Brook is supported by the US DOE under grant DE-SC0005713. Multialikali antimonide cathodes provide high visible light quantum efficiency, with low thermal emittance and are excellent candidate materials for high average current next generation ERLs or high repetition rate FELs. Although these materials have some excellent characteristics, control of the growth mode of the thin film and ultimately the surface roughness is difficult and will effect the emittance that can be obtained in high gradient fields. To complement our growth studies of crystalline phases using x-ray diffraction studies, here we use the technique of grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GI-SAXS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure the roughness as a function of film thickness. In this study, we demonstrate these techniques as applied to the growth of Sb, for a range of thicknesses, temperatures and growth rates, and show the wide range of moprphologies that can be formed with relatively minor changes in deposition conditions. |

THPAC35 | Multipacting Study of 112 MHz SRF Electron Gun | 1214 |

The work at Stony Brook is supported by the US DOE under grant DE-SC0005713. The 112 MHz quarter wave superconducting electron gun was designed and built as an injector for the coherent electron cooling experiment. Besides that, the gun is suitable for testing various types of photocathodes thanks to its specially designed cathode holder. In recent RF tests of the gun at 4 K, the accelerating voltage reached 0.9 MV CW and more than 1 MV in pulsed mode. During this testing, we observed several multipacting barriers at low electromagnetic field levels. Since the final setup of the gun will be different from the cool down test configuration, we want to understand the exact location of the multipacting sites. We used Track3P to simulate multipacting. The results show several resonant trajectories that might be responsible for the observed barriers, but fortunately no strong multipacting barriers have been found in the cavity. |

THPAC18 | Progress on Growth of a Multi-alkali Photocathode for ERL | 1181 |

Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy and DOE grant at Stony Brook DE-SC0005713 K2CsSb is a robust photocathode capable of generating electron beams with high peak, high average current and low thermal emittance. During the last two year, a great improvement in the design and fabrication of a reliable deposition system suitable for K2CsSb cathode growth and its insertion into BNL high current ERL SRF gun has been achieved. A standard procedure for the growth of multi-alkali cathodes combined with another procedure to transport these cathodes into the SRF gun was developed. The first cathode growth on a copper insertion was ready to mount into the 704MHz gun. In this article, we will describe the progress of cathode growth and transportation for ERL project. In particular, laser heating and the cathode growth on Ta will be included. |

Funding: Work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the US DOE. Efforts to experimentally prove a concept of the coherent electron cooling are underway at BNL. A short 22-MeV linac will provide high charge, low repetition rate beam to cool a single ion bunch in RHIC. The linac will consist of a 112 MHz SRF gun, two 500 MHz normal conducting bunching cavities and a 704 MHz five-cell accelerating SRF cavity. The paper describes the SRF and RF systems, the linac layout, and discusses the project status, first test results and schedule. |

THPAC17 | Alkali Antimonide Photocathodes for Everyone | 1178 |

Alkali Antimonide photocathodes have yielded the highest current on record for any photoinjector source (75 mA), with QE of ~10% for green light. However, traditional growth methods for these cathodes yield material that is inherently rough, leading to rise of the intrinsic emittance for high gradient injectors such as those for next-generation light sources. It this presentation we will explore the origin of roughness in these materials, as well as the growth dynamics, using in situ and in operando techniques, including Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction, Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering, X-ray reflectivity and in vacuum Atomic Force Microscopy. |
