Abstract
Argonne National Laboratory is collaborating with Michigan State University (MSU), Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) on the design, fabrication, and testing of a prototype superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) gun for the planned LCLS-II-HE upgrade at SLAC. This electron source will enable the generation of higher-brightness beams at a high repetition rate opening the path to expand LCLS-II-HE FEL performances. This thesis focuses on the cold testing of the prototype gun cavity and ancillary structures including the fundamental input-power coupler and tuning system. Numerical simulations are also presented to understand fields inside of the cavity as well as acceleration and dynamics of field-emitted electrons.
