Abstract:
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) is currently building an high average current superconducting (SRF) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) to demonstrate ERL operation with low normalized beam emittance of 1 mm⋅mrad at 100 mA and short pulses of about 2 ps. For the injector section a series of SRF photoinjector cavities is being developed. The medium power prototype presented here features a 1.4⋅𝜆/2 cell SRF cavity with a normal-conducting, high quantum efficiency CsK2Sb cathode, implementing a modified HZDRstyle cathode insert. This injector potentially allows for 6 mA beam current at up to 3.5 MeV kinetic energy. In this contribution, the module assembly and first cool-down and RF commissioning results of the photo-injector module will be presented and compared to the level of performance during the cavity production and string assembly process.
