Characterisation of the BEAM from thermionic RF-gun adapted for photo cathode operation
The existing thermionic RF-gun (tungsten-BaO cathode) at the MAX-lab linac injector has been adapted for photo cathode operation. Important parameters of this system for free electron laser experiments, like emittance and charge, were measured giving 5.5 mmmrad at 70 pC (see below). A more detailed report on that setup, including laser and electron optics is given.
