This paper describes the recent results of conditioning and high power tests of the photocathode RF guns at the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY Zeuthen (PITZ). For successful operation of high gain SASE FELs, high phase space density of the electron beam is required. A high gradient in the gun has to be applied to improve the quality of the space charge dominated beams. In addition, long RF pulses and high repetition rate should be achieved to provide a high average power of FEL radiation. The first PITZ RF gun has been successfully tested at a mean power of 27 kW (900μseconds, 10 Hz, and 3 MW) and has been installed at the VUV-FEL at DESY Hamburg. Another RF gun has been installed at PITZ in January 2004 and is being conditioned for high power tests. The dark current behavior for various cathodes and for all operating schemes is also presented.

The goal of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) is to test and optimize electron sources for Free Electron Lasers and future linear colliders. At the end of 2003 the first stage of PITZ (PITZ1) has been successfully completed, resulting in the installation of the PITZ RF gun at the Vacuum Ultra Violet - Free Electron Laser (VUV-FEL) at DESY Hamburg. The main results achieved during the PITZ1 extensive measurement program are discussed in this paper. A minimum normalized beam emittance of about 1.5 pi mm mrad for 1 nC electron bunch charge has been reached by optimizing numerous photo injector parameters, e.g. longitudinal and transverse profiles of the photocathode laser, RF phase, main and bucking solenoid current. The second stage of PITZ (PITZ2), being a large extension of the facility and its research program, has started now. Recent progress on the PITZ2 developments will be reported as well.
