Abstract:
Several future accelerator projects, light sources and user experiments require high brightness electron beams. Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) photoinjectors operating in continuous-wave (cw) mode hold the potential to serve as an electron source generating beams of high peak brightness and short bunch lengths. Different operation and design parameters of the SRF photoinjector impact the beam dynamics and thus the beam brightness. An universal multi-objective optimization program based on a genetic algorithm was developed to extract optimum gun parameter settings from Pareto-optimum solutions. After getting the first optimum results, the photoinjector is supplemented with a booster section downstream. The new optimization results are presented. Further, the optimization program is applied to evaluate the impact of the field flatness of the gun cavity on the high brightness performance.
