Diamond as a large energy gap material can be easily made into a negative electron affinity (NEA) device. Using a few keV primary electrons as input and a few kV bias, the NEA diamond will emit cold electrons into vacuum with a large gain. We had tested and reported the performance of the diamond amplifier in our DC system somewhere else. The best amplification achieved so far was above 170. Next step of the experiment is to test the diamond amplifier in the 112 MHz superconducting RF electron gun. In this report we describe the design and simulations of the diamond amplifier to be tested in our SRF gun, show the finished amplifier containing the DC primary gun and light optics. We also provide preliminary test results of the laser and electron beam transport.

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.
