A compact cathode preparation chamber for the high current high polarization gun for the proposed eRHIC project has been designed and assembled at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This preparation chamber will be used to activate GaAs photocathodes to be used in the Gatling gun. The chamber is capable of achieving XHV on a consistent basis. Bulk GaAs samples were activated in this chamber with standard QE for the respective wavelength. In this paper, we discuss the design of this vacuum system, the heat cleaning and the activation procedure for the GaAs sample which will eventually be followed for the Gatling gun.

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The BNL 704MHz 0.5 cell SRF gun is designed for an ERL prototype with high bunch charge and high average current, and may ultimately be used to generate a high average current and high brightness electron beam for a high power far infrared free electron laser. In simulations with the space charge tracking code PARMELA we obtained a transverse normalized emittance beam of 0.28mm-mrad for a bunch charge of 300pC. The schematic layout of 704 MHz gun and its preliminary beam dynamics are presented in this paper. The emittance of electron beam was optimized for 300pC bunch charge,20ps bunch length and 20 MeV operations.

The proposed electron ion collider (eRHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory requires a polarized electron source with high average current, short bunch length, and small emittance. The-state-of-the-art single polarized electron photocathode is far from delivering the required 50mA current due to ion back-bombardment limiting the cathode’s lifetime and surface charge limit. In our funneling gun design, currently under construction, the electron bunches, generated from 20 photocathodes in a 220 kV DC gun, funnel to a single common beam axis. This article details our design of a high-average-current polarized electron gun’s optics, and presents our simulation of beam dynamics and combiner design. We also report the progress of funneling gun construction here.

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.

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.

The work at Stony Brook is supported by the US DOE under grant DE-SC0005713. 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.

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.
