  The stability of the RF phase in the RF photo injector gun is one of the most important factors for the successful operation of linac based free-electron lasers. Instabilities in the RF launch phase can significantly reduce the beam quality. Investigation on the dependence of different gun parameters and selection of optimal conditions are required to achieve high RF gun phase stability. The phase stability of the RF field is measured using the phase scan technique. Measurements were performed for different operating conditions at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, location Zeuthen (PITZ). Obtained stability measurement results will be presented and discussed.

  The successful operation of the Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) at DESY brings up the interest in further broadening the spectrum of possible applications also for the upcoming European XFEL. Hence the electron beam properties required for lasing should be tested and optimized for a broad range of values already on the level of the injector. The Photo Injector Test facility in Zeuthen (PITZ) at DESY characterizes the photo injectors for FLASH and the European XFEL. The main study involves the transverse projected emittance optimization for different beam conditions. Beside the projected emittance, the PITZ setup allows to measure the transverse emittance with a sub-bunch longitudinal resolution. This slice emittance diagnostics is based on the usage of bunches with an energy correlation of the longitudinal phase space components induced by the booster. Then the bunch is swept vertically with a dipole magnet. Part of the bunch that corresponds to a longitudinal slice is cut out by means of a vertical slit and the horizontal emittance is measured. This report presents the results of recent slice emittance measurements for different bunch charges.

  The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site, (PITZ) has the aim to develop and optimize high brightness electron sources for Free Electron Lasers like FLASH and the European XFEL. Photo electrons emitted from the Cs2Te cathode are accelerated by a 1.6-cell L-band RF gun cavity operated at 60 MV/m maximum accelerating gradient at the cathode. Cylindrically shaped laser pulses with a flat-top temporal profile of about 20 ps FWHM and 2 ps rise and fall time are used to produce electron beams with extremely low emittance. The PITZ beam line was upgraded in 2010. The new gun cavity (prototype number 4.1) was installed January 2010. The new booster cavity (CDS) with well-defined field distribution was installed in July 2010. The diagnostic system for characterization of the laser hitting the photocathode was upgraded in October 2010. Emittance measurements results for different charges: 2 nC, 1 nC, 0.25 nC, 0.1 nC and 0.02 nC, will be presented. The optimization was done for different parameters, e.g. gun solenoid current, gun phase, laser spot size on the cathode, booster gradient.

  The photo injector test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) develops and optimizes electron sources for linac driven free electron lasers. The main goal of PITZ is to demonstrate a small electron beam emittance by tuning several main parameters of the injector - photo cathode laser pulse, rf gun with solenoids and booster cavity parameters. A slit scan technique is used to measure the transverse phase space of the electron beam and the projected normalized emittance. The photo injector is capable of pulse train production which can be measured with dedicated diagnostics at PITZ. This enables optimization of the beam emittance for a wide range of bunch charges from tens of pC to several nC while keeping high resolution of beam measurements. The results of the experimental optimization will be presented yielding a new benchmark of photo injector performance.
