HBESL: Background
• A0 electron photoinjector ceases the16 MeV e-beam operation with the Tevatron shutdown in Oct. 2011 (NC gun 4 MeV + SC cavity 12 MeV).
• A0 is being converted into High-Brightness Electron Source Lab. (NC gun only due to the lack of cryo, 4 MeV)

HBESL: Motivations and Goals
• A facility that is dedicated to electron sources R&D: important for high-energy accelerators, critical for high-average current accelerators such as energy recovery linacs and accelerator-based light sources.
• The existing infrastructure at A0 photoinjector is just right for a source development lab.
• HBESL focuses on experiments related to: cathode fabrication and testing; electron gun design and testing; high-brightness/high average current electron beam studies; State-of-art electron beam diagnostics testing.

The HBESL Beamline
Yine Sun All Experimenters’ Meeting Jan. 9, 20124
solenoidrf gun
1.3 GHz, 1.625-cell normal conducting RF gun; Cs2Te photocathode; 200 pC – 1 nC; 4MeV. photocathode drive laser:
• Nd:YLF (frequency quadrupled to 263nm, 3 ps rms)
• Ti-Sapphire from Northern Illinois University ( frequency tripled to 267nm, 200 fs rms)

Possible Experiments for HBESL (I)
• Three-photon Photo-emission from CsTe Cathode:
6 Yine Sun All Experimenters’ Meeting Jan. 9, 2012
– Presently 266 nm UV laser is used to match peak in photoemission (hv = 4.5 eV);
– A high-peak-power 800-nm laser can be used to photo-emit from CsTe;
– Advantages: simple andmore efficient laser system.
• Measurement of the CsTe Cathode Response Time:– Never measured before;
– CsTe expected to be slow emitters with emission time below 1 ps;
– A deflecting cavity directly downstream of the gun could enable this measurement.
• CsTe Cathode Fabrication and Testing (in collaborations with INFN, Italy and Argonne)

Possible Experiments for HBESL (II)
7 Yine Sun All Experimenters’ Meeting Jan. 9, 2012
Emission from needle cathodes (with Vanderbilt University):– Unprecedented brightness at the quantum-degenerate limit.– How the brightness is maintainedafter acceleration in an rf gun
Photo-field emission:– Use a 6-fs laser to enable emission from needle;– Attosecond bunches from laser “buckets”.
Gated field emission:– two-frequency rf gun (funded SBIR with RadiaBeam) a 1.3-3.9-GHz rf gun will be delivered during FY13;– two-frequency coaxial line with a the cathode at one of its extremity → new cathode holder being designed with VU.

Possible Experiments for HBESL (III)
8 Yine Sun All Experimenters’ Meeting Jan. 9, 2012
Field Emission Needle Testing(1st Time in a RF Gun)– Diamond c anathode (VU)– Carbon nanotube (RB)
Field Emission Array:– Many (104-106) needles on thesubstrate (VU/MIT)– Initially motivation increase current– New directions: – pre-bunch at the attosec. level [Graves, Kartner, Moncton, Piot (2011)] – Improve brightness”.
