Three different S-band rf-photoguns have been constructed by Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands: A 1.5-cell, a 100 Hz 1.6-cell, and a 2.6-cell. They share a design concept that differs from the ‘standard’ BNL-gun in many aspects: Individual cells are clamped and not brazed saving valuable manufacturing time and allowing damaged parts to be replaced individually. The inner geometry employs axial incoupling, inspired by DESY, to eliminate any non-cylindrically symmetric modes. Elliptical irises, identical to a 2.6-cell design of Strathclyde University, reduce the maximum field on the irises and thereby reduce electrical breakdown problems. The manufacturing process uses single-point diamond turning based on a micrometer-precise design. The overall precision is such that the clamped cavities are spot-on resonance and have near-perfect field balance without the need for any post-production tuning. Operational performance of the three Dutch rf-photoguns will be presented.
