Description
We present the first results of commissioning of the S-Band hybrid photoinjector at the new accelerator facility at UCLA. Thorough characterization of the photoinjector is needed before installation of additional accelerating sections. These include measurements of high power RF cavity response, charge, beam energy, and bunch length. Of particular interest in this first round of studies is the effect of cavity temperature and RF phase on beam energy, energy spread, and bunch length, due to their effects on compression in the traveling wave section of the hybrid gun. Following full characterization of the photoinjector, a 1.5 meter linac is to be installed and experiments up to 30 MeV will begin.
