Low-emittance photoinjector-enabled cutting-edge scientific instruments, such as free-
electron lasers, inverse Compton scattering light sources, and ultrafast electron diffraction …

Background A full-energy LINAC is under development at Wuhan Advanced Light Source
(WALS) to provide beams for the 1.5 GeV storage ring proposed as a fourth-generation …

An international collaboration between PSI and INFNLNF has been undertaken with the aim
of developing the next generation of high brightness electron sources. Through this …

RF photoguns are the most common electron sources for FELs and Compton facilities. They
are key in such accelerator facility and, presently, primarily operated in the S band regime (3 …

We performed an optimisation study of a C-band photoinjector for high-charge electron
beams. Such a device is capable of producing high brightness electron beams, with low …

To generate ultra-high brightness electron beams it is highly advantageous to use injectors
based on Radio frequency photo-guns with very high cathode peak electric field. The current …

MeV ultrafast electron diffraction has become a new frontier for the study of molecular
dynamics. With the temporal resolution of MeV-UED being limited, in part, by the electron …

In this deliverable we report the study results for a 6 GeV accelerator defined in the
framework of Task 4.4 useful as injector for high brightness soft Free Electron Laser X-ray …
