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.

A Quarter-Wave Resonator (QWR) type SRF gun operating at 112 MHz will be used for Coherent Electron Cooling Proof of Principle (CeC PoP) system under development for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The CeC PoP experiment will demonstrate the ability of relativistic electrons to cool a single bunch of heavy ions in RHIC. This cavity is designed to generate a 2 MeV, high charge (several nC), low repetition rate (78 kHz) electron beam using a new fundamental power coupler (FPC) design approach. Structural and thermal analysis, using ANSYS were performed to confirm the FPC structural stability and to calculate the deflection due to heat load from RF power generation. This paper provides an overview of the design, structural and thermal analysis, test results, and FPC tuning drive system for the 112 MHz gun.

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.

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 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.

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.
