Abstract
The 1.5 cell standing wave rf photoinjector has been operated for the past several months using a copper cathode. The photoinjector drive la ser produces sub 2 ps pulses of UV (lambda = 266 nm) light with up to 200 muJ/pulse which generates up to 3 nC of charge. The emittance of t he photoinjector was measured as a function of charge, rf launching ph ase, and peak accelerating field. Also, the quantum efficiency and pul se lengths of the laser beam and the electron beam were measured.
