Abstract

A radiofrequency photoinjector is developed and tested to produce high bunch space charge at 8 nC with low normalized emittance in trains of 800 bunches separated by 1 μs. First test results showed a phase acceptance of 100 °C. The phase that gave the maximum amount of charge was chosen for operation. Once the gun phase was fixed, the energy of the beam was measured versus the phase of the 9-cell, with 35 MV/m on the bun and 7.8 MV/m of accelerating gradient in the superconducting cavity. The total energy of the beam was 13.7 MeV.
