The Rossendorf SRF gun with a 3 1/2 cell cavity has been operated since 2007. It has produced CW beam with the electron energy of 3 MeV and the average current up to 16 μA. The electron beam of the gun has successfully injected the ELBE superconducting linac since 2010. The Nb cavity has shown constant quality during the operation and for the Cs2Te photocathode life time of months could be obtained. Recently the gun started to run in the pulsed mode with higher gradient. The longitudinal parameters have been measured in this mode. The dark current arose from the high gradient is studied. The main field emission source has been found to be the half cell. Meanwhile, two modified 3+1/2 cell niobium cavities have been fabricated and tested in Jlab. In this paper the new status of the SRF gun will be presented, and the latest results of the beam experiments will be discussed.

  The superconducting CW- LINAC of the radiation source ELBE is in permanent operation since May 2001. In 2011 an upgrade program of ELBE is in progress to support additional applications. One part of the program is to double the RF-power per cavity to at least 16 kW. We first tested a 30 kW IOT-based amplifier (Bruker /CPI) at a cavity, later two 10 kW solid state amplifiers in parallel. The best solution found is based on 10 kW Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA) developed by Bruker BioSpin. The poster gives an overview on the status, the activities around this RF-upgrade project and the technical specification of the “turnkey” SSPA , designed for 10 kW, 1.3 GHz and full CW-operation.

  The Radiation Source ELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf is undergoing an extension to offer capacity for various applications. The extension includes the setup of a THz-beamline with a dedicated laboratory and a beamline for electron-beam - high-power laser interaction. The current synchronization scheme offers stability on the picoseconds level. For pump-probe experiments using optical lasers, the desired synchronization between the pump and the probe pulse should be on the femtosecond scale. In the future there will be an optical synchronization system with a pulsed fiber laser as an optical reference. The laser pulses will be distributed over stabilized fiber links to the remote stations. It is planned to install EOM-based beam arrival time monitors (BAMs) in order to monitor the bunch jitter and to establish a beam-based feedback to reduce the jitter. Besides that, the timing system has to be revised to generate triggers for experiments with low repetition rate, two electron guns (thermionic DC, superconducting RF) and several lasers. The Poster will show the possible layout of the future Timing and Synchronization System at ELBE.
