GaAs Photocathode Performance
•Photocathode QE~6% after initial activation
•Photocathode delivers ~200 C between re-cesiations
•Typical day of operations draws ~35 Coulombs
•About 96% of previous QE is recovered with each re-cesiation
•12 activated cathodes and close to 40 re-cesiations performed on a singleGaAs wafer in one year

Demonstrated DC Photocathode Gunperformance
•Pulsed operation at 8 mA/pulse (110 pC/bunch) in 16 ms-longpulses at 2 Hz repetition rate
•CW operation at 9.1 mA (75 MHz) with 122 pC/bunch
•Routinely delivers 5 mA CW and pulse current at 135 pC/bunchfor FEL operations
•400 A peak current at wiggler
•Vacuum environment: 4.0E-11 Torr, 99.9% H2
