Axial Power Input in Photocathode Electron Guns D. Janssen, FZR, Germany, V. Volkov, BINP, Novosibirsk, Russia,
RF cavity Cathode Beam tube Power input in RF guns • In normal and superconducting • RF guns the cathode can be separeted by a • vacuum gap from the surrounding cavity • Idea: This gap can be used for coaxial • input of RF power • Advantages: • No additional RF input coupler necessary • No emittance growth by nonsymmetric • RF fields in the coupler plane • No RF losses by the coaxial line around • the cathode • Optimal arrangement of magnetic coils • in the normal conducting case is possible • Easy to make the RF input variable by a • quarter wave filter in the superconducting case Vacuum gap

Summary • In RF electron guns a coaxial gap between cathode • and cavity can be used for RF power input. • This special input coupler • is easy adjustable, • create no additional emittance growth and • produce in the superconducting case a small heat • load even at large RF power
