What are we building?½ cell SRF injector with an independently cooled demountable cathode stalk designed for use with CsK2Sb photocathodes
What makes this unique?– Ability to couple 1 MW of RF power to the gun via 2 coaxial
couplers Novel pringle tip FPC to improve coupling and reduce beam
effect on beam– Plans to deliver up to 500 mA average current from the gun– Cathode delivery system can be outfitted with a wide variety of
cathode materials from metals to dispensers– Use of a quarter wavelength RF choke joint for the cathode
insertion.– High Temperature Superconducting Solenoid

Cavity Processing
• Cavity was tuned to pre-determined frequency prior to shipment to Jlab
• Cavity was given a bulk, 140 um BCP treatment
• 10 hours at 600C Furnace treatment
• 25 um BCP, HPR, Assembly
• Ultrasonic thickness measurements are being taken along the way.– To date show an actual etch
rate ~60% of the sample etch rate.

Cavity Testing Summary
• Preliminary VTA test completed last week on the cavity without the VTA cathode inserted.– Goal was to measure the performance of the cavity
independent of the choke joint.• Data shows signs of multipacting/ radiation in the cavity
requiring further investigation– Multipacting analysis did not look at the cavity without the
cathode stalk as this is not a useful operational mode of the cavity
• Low Field Q value was 1e10 in line with superfish simulations• Goal for the next test is the install the VTA cathode and provide
a DC bias to help suppress multipacting in the choke region.– This should help identify the location of the multipacting
