Abstract
CANDELA photo-injector is made of a 2-cell S-band RF gun, using a disp enser cathode illuminated by a Ti:sapphire laser. This electron source provides a single bunch (at 12.5 Hz), with a charge of 1 nC and an en ergy of 2MeV. After recalling the experimental set-up, this paper pres ents some results concerning mainly energy and bunch length measuremen ts and also comparisons with simulations done with the PARMELA code. M easured pulse durations of less than 10 ps show for the first time tha t dispenser photocathodes are ''fast response'' cathodes.
