The current electron source for the injector at MAX-lab is a thermionic RF-gun. This gun produces a several ns long pulse with a significant beamloading. To allow for ?few bucket? operation and emittance reduction the gun will be adapted for operation with a ns laser system. The system to be installed during the spring 2004 is a 3 or 4th harmonic injection seeded Nd:YAG laser. The thermionic BaO cathode already in use will be used at a temperature just below thermal emission where a quantum efficiency of around 1* 10-4 is expected.
