WP 3, T 1: LASER Ø Laser for the CTF 3 Photoinjector: All the milestones have shifted by ~6 months due to the late arrival of funding and long procurement delays due to specificity of the material. An important deliverable reached is the laser oscillator: Built by High. QLaser (Austria), it is the first of his kind with • rep rate of 1. 5 Ghz • rms pulse lenght < 10 ps • Jitter < 1 ps • Amplitude stability < 0. 2 % R.

WP 3, T 1: Oscillator and preamplifier The results of the acceptance tests: The oscillator and preamplifier are now working to specification at RAL The additional preamplifier has delivered the required power The improved timing jitter seems to be due to low environmental noise at RAL Anomalous photodiode measurements at CERN have been resolved R.

WP 3, T 1: Time & Amplitude Structuring PULSE SLICING • Needs two large-aperture Pockels cells (single-pulse and 1. 54 ms train) to handle high average power after Amplifier 2 • Current design includes programmable corrector to reduce systematic pulse amplitude variations to <0. 1% RMS • System is commercially available AMPLITUDE STABILISATION • If the intrinsic amplitude noise is low then a low-retardance Pockels cell will be adequate, requiring low drive voltage compatible with fast electronic amplifiers • Performance will be dominated by the sensor and the feedback control electronics • Sensor and cell are commercially available but FC electronics need specialist design PULSE CODING • Requirement for a 7 MHz, multi-k. V, drive waveform with <300 ps switching time and better than 1% amplitude control makes a system based on a Pockels cell unviable • The alternative is a fibre-optic (FO) modulator system placed after the oscillator where the average power is low • The >10 d. B losses of an FO system will require more gain from the preamplifier • The FO system is commercially available and the preamplifier’s manufacturer can increase its gain, but this will involve some delay, best left to the end of the program R.

They are based on a new physical phenomenon: the elctrone-hole plasma supergeneration in solid state. This permits to have high operating voltage up to 5 k. V and the turn-on time less than 1 ns. The DSRD are diodes characterized by fast voltage restoration that assures low commutation jitter, unlimited life time, repetition rate that can be as high as megahertz and opening times can be less than 1 ns with 100 A current.

WP 4, T 1: FZR SRF Photogun – Cathode Cooling System Cathode with heater Cooling body Liquid nitrogen reservoir The test of the cathode cooling system has been succeeded. In the SRF gun, the normal conducting cathode is inside the SC cavity. With the test was proofed whether the cathode heat load (from rf field) will be transported into the liquid N 2 cooler. It was found that the cooling system works well and only a small amount of the heat (some m. W) will be transferred to the SC cavity. The cathode cooling system mounted on the test bench flange. The rf heat load is simulated by an electrical heater (10 – 50 W). R. Losito CERN-AB-ATB Care Steering Committee, Paris, 05/09/2005
