A High Charge, High Duty Factor RF Photoinjector for the Next Generation Linear Collider,” these proceedings

Testing of the prototype TESLA Test Facility (TTF) RF photoinjector has been completed, and fabrication of the high duty factor TTF injector is underway. Experimental results from the prototype tests conducted at Argonne National Laboratory will be presented. Engineering design work for the high power TTF gun will be discussed together with initial operating experience with a Cesium telluride photocathode in short (50 microbunch) pulse trains, and long RF pulses (1000 millisecond), conducted at Fermilab1. An outline of future advanced accelerator R&D activities at Fermilab will also be presented.
