Abstract:
The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site, (PITZ) aimes to develop and optimize electron sources for frontiers linac based FELs such as FLASH and the European XFEL. A new laser system hast been commissioned at PITZ in late autumn 2008. It is capable to deliver trains of laser pulses with challenging temporal shape: flat-top profile with ~20 ps FWHM and rise and fall times of _<2 ps. This laser system, being a significant step towards the European XFEL photo injector specifications, has been used in a 1.6-cell L-band rf gun with up to ~60MV/m electric field at the cathode to produce high brightness electron beams. A major part of the PITZ measurement program is the optimizing of the transverse phase space. Recent electron beam measurements at PITZ will be presented.
