Funding: Supported by US DOE under contract DE-AC03-76SF00515. The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory operates a thermionic radio-frequency gun as part of its injector for the SPEAR 3 storage ring. In order to generate the high bunch charge required for top-off injection, it may be advantageous to operate the thermionic cathode as a photo-emitter. In this note we report on measurements of the wavelength dependence of the quantum efficiency of a tungsten dispenser cathode in a low-field environment, and on high-power tests of the injector in photoemission mode. |
