TUPMN021 | Status of Nb-Pb Superconducting RF-Gun Cavities | 962 |

We report on the progress in the status of an electron RF-gun made of two superconductors: niobium and lead. The presented design combines the advantages of the RF performance of bulk niobium superconducting cavities and the reasonably high quantum efficiency of lead. Measured values of quantum efficiency for lead at 2K and the RF-performance of three half-cell niobium cavities with the lead spot exposed to high electric fields are reported in this contribution. | ||

We report recent progress in the development of a hybrid lead/niobium superconducting (SC) injector. The goal of this effort is to produce an all-SC injector with the SCRF properties of a niobium cavity along with the superior quantum efficiency (QE) of a lead photocathode. Two prototype hybrid injectors have been constructed, one utilizing a cavity with a removable cathode plug, and a second consisting of an all-niobium cavity arc-deposited with lead in the cathode region. We present the results of QE measurements on these cavities, along with tests of the effect of the laser on the cavity RF performance. |
