Abstract

A photocathode RF-gun for the X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) has been fabricated and tested at PAL. This RF-gun is based on a 1.6-cell cavity with dual-feed waveguide ports and two pumping ports. The RF gun was designed by PAL and POSTECH. The RF-gun has been successfully tested with a cathode electric field gradient up to 126 MV/m at a repetition rate of 30 Hz. This paper reports the recent results on the beam test of the RF-gun with high power RF at the gun test facility. We present and discuss the measurements of the basic beam parameters such as charge, energy, energy spread, and transverse emittance.
