abstract = {{A novel 6 MeV hybrid photo injector was designed and commissioned at Ariel University in Israel as an on-going collaboration with UCLA. This unique, new generation design provides a radically simpler approach to RF feeding of a gun/buncher system, leading to a much shorter beam via velocity bunching owed to an attached traveling wave section of the photo-injector. This design results in better performance in beam parameters, providing a high quality electron beam, with energy of 6 MeV, emittance of less than 3 ’m, and a 150 fs pulse duration at up to 1 nC per pulse. The Hybrid gun is driven by a SLAC XK5 Klystron as the high power RF source, and third harmonic of a fs level IR Laser amplifier (266 nm) to extract electrons from the Cathode. The unique e-gun will produce a bunched electron pulse to drive a THz FEL, which will operate at the super-radiance regime, and therefore requires extraordinary beam properties. It will also be used for MeV UED experiments in a separate line using a dogleg section. Here we describe the gun and presents experimental results from the gun and its sub-systems, including energy and charge measurements, compared with the design simulations.}},
