Minutes of the CLIC Meeting - 23 June 2006
Agenda:

The PHIN Photoinjector for the CTF3 Drive Beam |
Speakers:

Graeme Hirst
(CCLRC/RAL) and Roberto Losito (CERN) |
Abstract
The photoinjector
for the CTF3 drive beam is being built by a collaboration among LAL,
RAL and CERN. LAL designed the RF gun and built a prototype to verify
the design, and is now building the final gun. CERN will provide the
photocathodes and is responsible for integration and commissioning.
CCLRC has designed and is assembling the laser.
We will present the status of the various components, with a particular
focus on laser developments.
Graeme gave an overview on the Photoinjector Laser for CTF3. He
recalled the layout of the system, presented the status of the
different components and further plans.
A point to mention is that the present system has a fixed 140ns
switching time that can only be modified by changing fibers for the
delay.
