Abstract

In order to achieve sharp, high resolution real-time imaging, electrons in a MeV UEM (ultrafast electron microscope) beamline need to minimize instabilities energy spread during generation and acceleration- The stability of the normal conducting photocathode gun which is currently used to produce short electron bunches has been one of main elements limiting the further improvement of beam instability- The Superconducting RF (SRF) photocathode gun is a promising candidate to produce highly stable electrons for UEM/UED applications- It operates in an ultrahigh Q, CW mode, and dissipates a few watts of RF power, which make it possible to achieve a 10s ppm level of beam stability by using modern RF control techniques-
