JLEIC R&D weekly meeting, Thursday Jan 26, JLab. Update on magnetized electron gun development at the Gun Test Stand GTS P. Adderley, D. Bullard, F., Hannon, C. Hernandez-Garcia, A. Mamun, M. Poelker, R.Suleiman, Y. Wang JLEIC R&D weekly meeting, Thursday Jan 26, JLab.

Experimental Overview: Gun Test Stand Anode K2CsSb Photocathode Cathode Solenoid (Bz=2kG) Diagnostic Cross 1 (Slit + YAG Screen) Diagnostic Cross 2 Diagnostic Cross 3 (YAG Screen) Beamline Focusing Solenoid Green Laser 150 cm Generate magnetized beam: Laser size: 1– 5 mm, Bz = 0 – 2 kG Bunch charge: 1 – 500 pC Frequency: 15 Hz – 476.3 MHz Bunch length: 10 – 100 ps Average beam currents up to 32 mA Gun high voltage: 200 – 350 kV

FY16 Accomplishments (summer 2016) K2CsSb Photocathode Preparation Chamber, Gun and Beamline: delivered 1 mA, 300 keV to dump (non-magnetized) Simulation (Fay Hannon): Used ASTRA and GPT simulation to design beamline and to locate magnets and diagnostics at optimum positions Simulated magnetized electron beam properties along beamline for various starting conditions Simulated a round to flat transformer

GTS Beam Line as it was in Summer 2016 for beam ops EB Viewers Focusing solenoids Photocathode preparation chamber HV Gun 1 m Steering magnets Faraday Cup (dump) The EB is generated at the HV Gun and transported to the Faraday Cup (beam dump) where the beam current is measured (QE evaluation over time).

300kV Inverted insulator gun with CsK2Sb Photocathode 8 MV/m 11 MV/m @ 350kV 6” ball diameter Pure alumina insulator with diamond paste hand polished electrodes conditioned to 325kV, but operated at 300kV due to field emission (from dusty NEG strips on bottom of vacuum chamber)

First beam on May 20 2016

We observed no QE decay up to 1 mA: 1mA DC 0.5 mA DC Same cathode, two different runs We were not been able to increase to 5 mA because ion back bombarding induces arcing in the photocathode, decreasing the QE… Canales, Mexican Autonomous University, intern student summer 2016.

..even so, CsK2Sb cathode is very robust 1 cm Sometimes QE at laser-illuminated spot drops significantly after each arcing event Some other times the QE at laser-illuminated spot barely changes after each arcing event 18 Jul HVPS current bursts correlated to arcing events Grown on GaAs substrate Initial QE Freshly made cathode Are arcing events vacuum induced ? Large initial QE drop Same cathode, different runs 1 cm Non-masked cathode = significant beam halo Laser ON Laser OFF 8 Canales, Mexican Autonomous University intern student summer 2016.

modeling by Jay Benesch After concluding beam studies in summer 2016, we proceeded with Magnet Coil installation & beamline upgrade Design and modeling by Jay Benesch New Pucks Designed to enhance magnetic field at cathode to 2.0 kG Molybdenum Steel

The upgrade beamline currently under installation has slits for magnetized beam characterization and emittance measurements. Slit YAG Screen

The magnet coil has been installed and commissioned

The cathode prep chamber has been improved Making photocathode in the original chamber was tremendously difficult because the photocurrent could not me monitored, ie the puck was at ground through its heater and holder. Biasing a nearby anode ring proved useless because it was collecting photoemission from the chamber walls!

Mamun developed a novel concept for grabbing the puck based on the retainer mechanism used inside the ball electrode, allowing to: Bias the puck to monitor photocurrent during activation and measuring QE in-situ Heat the puck during activation Finely control the gap between puck and Cs-K effusion source for precise film growth Use a mask for reducing active area to minimize electron beam halo

The gun has been refurbished Pure alumina insulator replaced with doped alumina for higher voltage stand-off and robust operations Electrode ‘shed’ (triple junction shield) re-designed by Yan Wang to lower gradient from 12 MV/m to 10 MV/m at 350kV Pure alumina insulator Doped alumina insulator

Gun refurbishing continued Electrodes have been polished with barrel tumbling technique developed by Don Bullard, cutting down the polishing time from 1 week to 1 day !!! After barrel polishing for 30 min in plastic cones + 30 min corncob As received from machine shop

Gun refurbishing continued Replaced dusty NEG sheets and wire mesh shield with full NEG modules and perforated plate to minimize dust and keep electric field from pulling it towards electrode

As a result of gun improvements the gun high voltage conditioning takes 1/3 of the time! Indicated voltage reached with Kr processing Diamond Paste Polished Barrel Polished

The inverted insulator gun electrostatic ‘package’ shows robust operation at 365kV with Kr

The gun has been conditioned up to 340kV in vacuum

But first trials with gun at 340kV AND magnet coil at 200 A resulted in field emission and vacuum activity

Is this the first time a 300kV DC gun has been operated with a solenoid coil !!??!!

For the sake of progress, we decided to operate at 300kV and re-condition for 100, 200, 300 and 400 A magnet coil current set points 300kV Magnet coil ON 200 A Vacuum 5 nA Ion pump current Vacuum 2 nA Ion pump current Field emission 20 Counts per Second

The GTS work also benefits activities at CEBAF for the gun upgrade and at the UITF Barrel polishing applied to the Wien electrodes which tested successfully for the gradient needed to support 200keV Ops at CEBAF The UITF DC Photogun is a copy of the improved GTS gun We anticipate implementing the GTS gun improvements to the upgrade 200keV photogun at CEBAF

In the next few weeks we plan to: Make CsK2Sb photocathode in improved cathode preparation chamber Complete beam line assembly Vacuum bake beam line Implement Instrumentation and Control for new diagnostics, added solenoids and steering coils Complete gun high voltage conditioning at 300kV with magnet coil at 100, 200, 300 and 400 A current set points Make beam!
