Recently, RadiaBeam has designed and built a robust thermionic RF gun with optimized electromagnetic per-formance, improved thermal engineering, and a robust cathode mounting technique. This gun allows to improve the performance of existing and future light sources, industrial accelerators, and electron beam driven te-rahertz sources. Unlike conventional electrically or side-coupled RF guns, this new gun operates in ’-mode with the help of magnetic coupling holes. Such a design al-lows operation at longer pulses and has negligible dipole and quadrupole components. The gun prototype was built, then installed and tested at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) injector. This paper presents the results of high power and beam tests of this RF gun, and operation-al experience at APS to this moment.

Modern accelerator facilities require reliable high-power RF components. The RF vacuum window is a critical part of the waveguide couplers to the accelerating cavities. It is the point where the RF feed crosses the vacuum boundary and thus forms part of the confinement barrier. RF windows must be designed to have low power dissipation inside their ceramic, be resistant to mechanical stresses, and free of discharges. In this paper, we report on the evaluation of three different ceramic candidates for high power RF windows. These materials have low loss tangents, low secondary electron yield (SEY), and large thermal expansion coefficients. The acquired materials were inspected, coated, and measured to select the optimal set.
