Producing higher brightness beams at the cathode is one of the main focuses for future electron beam applications. For photocathodes operating close to their emission threshold, the cathode lattice temperature begins to dominate the minimum achievable intrinsic emittance. At UCLA, we are designing a radiofrequency (RF) test bed for measuring the temperature dependence of the mean transverse energy (MTE) and quantum efficiency for a number of candidate cathode materials. We intend to quantify the attainable brightness improvements at the cathode from cryogenic operation and establish a proof-of-principle cryogenic RF gun for future studies of a 1.6 cell cryogenic photoinjector for the UCLA ultra compact XFEL concept (UC-XFEL). The test bed will use a C-band 0.5-cell RF gun designed to operate down to 40K, producing an on-axis accelerating field of 120 MV/m. The cryogenic system uses conduction cooling and a load-lock system is being designed for transport and storage of air-sensitive high brightness cathodes.

Laser-induced field emission of electrons from metallic nanotips has been well studied. Unfortunately, nanotips suffer low damage thresholds with enhanced fields around 10 GV/m. The nanoblade, akin to a nanotip extruded in one lateral dimension, may reach upwards of 40 GV/m due to its robust thermomechanical properties. This increased surface field promises brighter electron emissions. We perform simulations of strong-field emissions from metallic nanoblades via the 1-D time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation with effective Jellium and nonlinear collective image charge potentials, including the strong field gradients induced by the nanostructure. We measure spectra and yields and compare to recent experiments. Potential analytical forms of image potential limited yield for a spectrally rich emission are presented. Calculations of mean transverse energy are provided as well as a prospective method of mitigation with the goal of increasing brightness.

Alkali antimonide photocathodes, such as Cs3Sb, have attractive properties, such as low emittance and high quantum efficiency, which makes them excellent candidates for next-generation high-brightness electron sources. A large number of studies in literature focus on quantum efficiency and lifetime, and fewer report chemical and structural analysis, despite the latter ultimately determine the brightness at the photocathode. Epitaxial, single-crystalline films would allow to study the intrinsic properties of alkali antimonide photocathodes and to optimize them for maximum brightness, but this goal remains elusive. A strong limiting factor is the extreme air sensitivity, preventing ex-situ structural and chemical analysis. We report a study on the growth of Cs-Sb films via molecular beam epitaxy with reflection high-energy electron diffraction to monitor the growth in real time. The samples were characterized via in-situ ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. Cs3Sb and CsSb phases can be stabilized on appropriate single crystal substrates, with the latter reproducibly resulting in atomically smooth surfaces.

  A key component to meeting the brightness targets of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project at CERN is the new 160 MeV H charge exchange injection system into the Proton Synchrotron Booster. This system has been in beam commissioning since December 2020, optimizing the beam production schemes for tailoring different beams to the respective user-defined brightness targets. In this paper, selected measurements from the beam commissioning period are presented, characterizing the system’s flexibility to produce the required wide range of transverse emittances. The discussion focuses on the essential optimization of the injection set-up to minimize space charge driven emittance blow-up and injection errors. The results are completed by selected comparisons with multi-particle simulation models of the injection process.

  The R&D of high gradient radiofrequency devices is aimed to develop innovative and compact accelerating stuctures based on new manufactoring techniques and materials in order to produce devices operating with the highest accelerating gradient. Recent studies have shown a large increase in the maximum sustained RF surface electric fields in copper structure operating at cryogenic temperature. These novel approaches allow significant performance improvements of RF photoinjectors. Indeed the operation at high surface fields results in considerable increase of electron brilliance. This requires high field quality in the RF photoinjector and specifically in its poweer coupler. In this work we present a novel power coupler for the RF photoinjector. The coupler is a compact C-band TM01 mode launcher with a fourfold symmetry which minimized both the dipole and the quadrupole RF field components.

We propose a novel architecture for a mid-IR, high-repetition, kilowatt-class, CO2 laser system operating in a pulse-burst regime and its implementation in In-verse Compton Scattering (ICS) sources of x-ray and gamma-ray radiation. Different types of particle accelerators are considered for conversion to such ICS sources, including energy recovery linacs and synchrotron storage rings. The expected ICS performance parameters are compared with earlier proposals where CBETA and DAΦNE accelerators have been paired with near-IR, mode-locked solid-state lasers operating at a multi-megahertz repetition rate. A considerable increase in acting laser energy attainable in our CO2 laser-based scheme, combined with an order of magnitude higher number of laser photons per Joule of energy allows maintaining a similarly high average flux of produced hard x-rays while the peak flux and brilliance will be raised by three to four orders of magnitude compared to aforementioned schemes based on near-IR lasers.
