  The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), was built with the aim to develop and characterize electron sources for future usage at FLASH and at the European XFEL. Recently, the main focus at PITZ has been the study of gun reliability and photoinjector performance at high average power. The goal is to get stable and reliable operation with 6.4 MW peak power in the gun at 650 us RF pulse length and 10 Hz repetition rate. To achieve this, a new RF feed system with two RF windows was installed at PITZ in 2014. During this test, the old gun 4.2 with a modified back-plane design for better cathode contact has been used. In this contribution the results of the RF conditioning of gun 4.2 with a detailed interlock analysis will be reported as well as results from recent electron beam characterization.

  In the field of plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) significant progress has been made throughout the recent years. However, an important issue in building plasma based accelerators that provide particle bunches suitable for user applications will be a high transformer ratio, i.e. the ratio between maximum accelerating field in the witness and maximum decelerating fields in the driver bunch. The transformer ratio for symmetrical bunches in an overdense plasma is naturally limited to 2*. Theory and simulations show that this can be exceeded using asymmetrical bunches. Experimentally this was proven in RF-structures**, but not in PWFA. To study transformer ratios above this limit in the linear regime of a plasma wake, an experimental scheme tailored to the unique capabilities of the Photoinjector Test Facility Zeuthen PITZ, a 20-MeV electron accelerator at DESY, is being investigated. This includes analytical plasma wakefield calculations, numerical simulations of beam transport and plasma wakefields, as well as preparatory studies on the photocathode laser system and the plasma sources.
