  In 2013 the NSLS-II in­jec­tor, which con­sists of 200 MeV linac, 3 GeV booster, trans­port lines and stor­age ring in­jec­tion straight sec­tion, will be en­ter­ing op­er­a­tions. While build­ing the NSLS-II in­jec­tion sys­tem we in­vested sub­stan­tial ef­forts in de­vel­op­ing and pre­serv­ing op­tions for fu­ture up­grades and en­chance­ments. In this paper we dis­cuss the po­ten­tial of in­cre­men­tal evo­lu­tion of the NSLS-II in­jec­tor per­for­mance by en­abling up­grade op­tions, such as the sec­ond gun, flex­i­ble bunch pat­terns, beam stack­ing in the booster, emit­tance com­pen­sa­tion tech­niques in the trans­port lines, etc. These up­grades will ex­pand ca­pa­bilites of the NSLS-II fa­cil­ity and in­crease op­er­a­tional re­li­a­bil­ity.

  A high rep­e­ti­tion rate (~MHz) and high bright­ness pho­toin­jec­tor, based on VHF band CW nor­mal con­duct­ing (NC) RF gun, is being de­vel­oped under Ad­vanced Pho­toin­jec­tor EX­per­i­ment (APEX) at Lawrence Berke­ley Lab. A NC 30 MeV L-band linac sys­tem will be added after the gun to demon­strate beam bright­ness with lower rep­e­ti­tion rate (~10 Hz). In this paper, cou­pler kicks from APEX buncher and ac­cel­er­a­tion cav­i­ties are eval­u­ated by 3D RF sim­u­la­tion, an­a­lyt­i­cal model and beam track­ing, and cou­pler cells are op­ti­mized to min­i­mize emit­tance di­lu­tion due to cou­pler kicks.

An X-band test sta­tion is being built at LLNL to sup­port in­verse Comp­ton-scat­ter­ing x-ray and gamma-ray source de­vel­op­ment. The major com­po­nents for the X-band test sta­tion have been de­signed, fab­ri­cated, in­stalled, and aligned. The XL-4 kly­stron has been de­liv­ered, dressed and in­stalled in the Scan­di­Nova mod­u­la­tor, and tested to full peak power. Final as­sem­bly and bake­out of RF trans­port, test sta­tion sup­ports, and ac­cel­er­a­tor com­po­nents is com­plete, and the cur­rent sta­tus of com­mis­sion­ing and first beam will be pre­sented and dis­cussed. Fu­ture up­grade paths and con­fig­u­ra­tion for a va­ri­ety of x-ray and gamma-ray ap­pli­ca­tions will be dis­cussed along with sched­ule for planned ex­per­i­ments.

The need for a bright elec­tron beam is in­creas­ing in the fields of x-ray sci­ence, elec­tron dif­frac­tion and elec­tron mi­croscopy which are re­quired for col­lid­ers. GaAs-based pho­to­cath­odes have the po­ten­tial to pro­duce high-bright­ness, un­po­lar­ized and po­lar­ized, elec­tron beams with per­for­mance that meets mod­ern col­lider re­quire­ments. Even after decades of in­ves­ti­ga­tion, how­ever, the exact mech­a­nism of elec­tron emis­sion from GaAs is not well un­der­stood. There­fore, we in­ves­ti­gate pho­toe­mis­sion from a GaAs pho­to­cath­ode using de­tailed Monte Carlo elec­tron trans­port sim­u­la­tions. In­stead of a sim­ple step­wise po­ten­tial, we con­sider a tri­an­gu­lar bar­rier in­clud­ing the ef­fect of the image charge to take into ac­count the ef­fect of the ap­plied field on the emis­sion prob­a­bil­ity. The sim­u­la­tion re­sults are com­pared with the ex­per­i­men­tal re­sults for quan­tum efficiency, an­gu­lar and en­ergy dis­tri­b­u­tions of emit­ted elec­trons with­out the as­sump­tion of any ad hoc pa­ra­me­ters.

The Uni­ver­sity of Wis­con­sin has com­pleted fab­ri­ca­tion and com­mis­sion­ing of a low fre­quency (199.6 MHz) su­per­con­duct­ing elec­tron gun based on a quar­ter wave res­onator (QWR) cav­ity. Its con­cept was op­ti­mized to be the source for a CW free elec­tron laser fa­cil­ity. The gun de­sign in­cludes ac­tive tun­ing and a high tem­per­a­ture su­per­con­duct­ing so­le­noid. We will re­port on the sta­tus of the Wis­con­sin SRF elec­tron gun pro­gram, in­clud­ing com­mis­sion­ing ex­pe­ri­ence and first beam mea­sure­ments.

  The per­for­mance of the Wis­con­sin 200-MHz SRF elec­tron gun is sim­u­lated for sev­eral val­ues of the RF gra­di­ent. Bunches with charge of 200 pC are mod­eled for the case where emit­tance com­pen­sa­tion is com­pleted dur­ing post-ac­cel­er­a­tion to 85 MeV in a TESLA mod­ule. We first per­form sim­u­la­tions in which the ini­tial bunch ra­dius is op­ti­mal for the de­sign gra­di­ent of 41 MV/m. We then op­ti­mize the ra­dius as a func­tion of RF gra­di­ent to im­prove the per­for­mance for low gra­di­ents.

We pre­sent a de­tailed study of the emit­tances pro­duced in the Cor­nell En­ergy Re­cov­ery Linac Pho­toin­jec­tor. Both the hor­i­zon­tal and ver­ti­cal trans­verse phase spaces, as well as the time-re­solved (sliced) hor­i­zon­tal phase space, were sim­u­lated and di­rectly mea­sured at the end of the in­jec­tor for 19 pC and 77 pC bunches at roughly 8 MeV. The re­sult­ing 90% nor­mal­ized trans­verse emit­tances for 19 (77) pC/bunch were 0.23 ± 0.02 (0.51 ± 0.04) μm in the hor­i­zon­tal plane, and 0.14 ± 0.01 (0.29 ± 0.02) μm in the ver­ti­cal plane, re­spec­tively. These emit­tances were mea­sured with a cor­re­spond­ing bunch length of 2.1±0.1 (3.0±0.2) ps, re­spec­tively. For both bunch charges, the rms mo­men­tum spread was de­ter­mined to be on the order of 10-3. Ex­cel­lent over­all agree­ment be­tween mea­sure­ment and sim­u­la­tion has been demon­strated. The beam bright­ness mea­sured in this work is sig­nif­i­cantly bet­ter than the best of mod­ern stor­age rings, and rep­re­sents a mile­stone for the field of high-bright­ness, high-cur­rent pho­toin­jec­tors.
