TI - The Alkali-Metal Photocathode Preparation Facility at Daresbury Laboratory: First Caesium Telluride Deposition Results J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - Fourth generation light sources require high brightness electron beams. To achieve this a photocathode with a high quantum efficiency and low intrinsic emittance is required, which is also robust with a long operational lifetime and low dark current. Alkali-metal photocathodes have the potential to fulfil these requirements, so are an important research area for the accelerator physics community. STFC Daresbury Laboratory are currently commissioning the Alkali-metal Photocathode Preparation Facility (APPF) which will be used to grow alkali photocathodes. Photocathodes produced by the APPF will be analysed using Daresbury Laboratory’s existing Multiprobe system* and the Transverse Energy Spread Spectrometer (TESS)**. Multiprobe can perform a variety of surface analysis techniques while the TESS can measure the Mean Transverse Energy of a photocathode from its Transverse Energy Distribution Curve over a large range of illumination wavelengths. We present an overview on our current progress in the commissioning and testing of the APPF, the results from the first Cs-Te deposition and detail the work planned to facilitate the manufacture of Cs₂Te photocathodes for the CLARA accelerator***.
