The superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) photoinjector concept combines the advantages of photo-assisted production of high brightness, short electron pulses and high gradient, low-loss continuous wave (CW) operation of a SRF cavity. A SRF photoinjector is under development by a collaboration between HZB, DESY, JLAB, BNL and NCBJ. The aim of the project is to understand and optimize the beam performance of a Nb SRF gun cavity coated with a small metallic superconducting Pb cathode film on the cavity backplane.
