In recent years we increased the typical maximum peak field on axis gradients obtained in L-band superconducting RF (SRF) photoinjector cavities at vertical tests to around 55 MV/m. This was achieved with niobium cathode plugs directly…
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is the first x-ray laser user facility based upon a free electron laser (FEL). In addition to many other stringent requirements, the LCLS XFEL requires extraordinary beam quality to saturate at 1.5…
