We investigate a transverse RF kick induced by the transition between rectangular
waveguide and coaxial line of the RF coupler in the 1.6-cell L-band normal conducting (NC) …

Recently three RF guns were prepared at the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY, location
Zeuthen (PITZ) for their subsequent operation at FLASH and the European XFEL. The gun …

The paper describes the recent results of conditioning and dark current measurements for
the photocathode RF gun at the photoinjector test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The …

The upgrade of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY in Zeuthen towards the PITZ2 stage
is continuously ongoing. In Spring 2006, a new intermediate stage was taken into operation …

A transverse kick resulting from the coaxial rf coupler in the L-band rf gun at the
photoinjector test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) has been systematically studied in …

Based on the 1.3 GHz normal conducting RF photogun installed at the Free Electron Laser
in Hamburg (FLASH) a new RF gun prototype with an optimized cooling layout has been …

Abstract The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) has been established to
develop and optimize electron sources that cover requirements of Free Electron Lasers …

A new L-band photoelectron gun (prototype 3.2) has been installed for use with a 10 MW
klystron at the Photo-Injector Test facility in Zeuthen (PITZ). This gun has been conditioned …

The electron gun is located at the upstream (south) end of the NML beamline enclosure as
shown in Figure 1.1. The gun itself is a cylindrical copper 1½ cell L-band (1.3 GHz) cavity …

This thesis describes the generation of frequency tunable narrow-band THz radiation and
energy tunable quasi-monochromatic hard X-rays using a 50 MeV class photoinjector. We …
