Description of gun magnet system • Gun solenoid: SOL1 • Bucking coil: SOL1BK • X,Y dipole correctors: XC00&YC00 (inside SOL1) • Normal & skewed quad correctors: CQ01&SQ01 (inside SOL1) • Field maps and calibrations measured
(1) Vacuum chamber (2) Cathode load port (3) Viewport (4) Cathode on rotation stage (5) To RGA and gauge (6) To vacuum pump (7) XPS x-ray source (8) AES/SEM electron gun (9) XPS/AES energy analyzer (10) Cold cathode H+ gun (11) UV light and monochromator Cathode Qualification System (CQS)
Cathode Qualification System • Measures either GTF- or LCLS-style cathodes • Ion-cleaning, XPS/AES, QE • Cathode carrier/storage containers are being fabricated
LCLS Cathode#1 Qualification (in CQS) LCLS Min QE H2-brazed, diamond fly cut, vacuum fired at 650C for 24 hours, H-ion cleaned
Summary of Gun Fabrication and Testing • Gun fabrication and cold testing completed • Gun meets all design goals • All magnetic components calibrated and characterized • Gun integrated with solenoid and waveguide assembly • Installed in test vault at Klystron • First bake of assembly (gun vacuum in high 10-10 Torr) • High-power RF (hot) testing has begun • Final vacuum qualification & alignment performed after Hot-Testing • Cathode processing chamber operational and producing cathodes for the gun • Gun on schedule for March 7, 2006 installation
