Abstract

A photoinjector based on a multi-cell plane wave transformer accelerating structure has been commissioned at the UCLA Department of Physics´ PEGASUS Laboratory. Design and construction of the novel structure have been previously reported [J. Rosenzweig, et al. PAC Proceedings 1997], and recent operation with a thermionic cathode is being presented at this conference [P. Frigola, et al. these proceedings]. This paper describes the planned operation of the PWT gun as a photoinjector, including design and construction details of the drive laser. Progress to date and future plans are discussed.
