Photocathode Stress Test Bench at INFN LASA

In the framework of the preparatory activities to the BriXSino project, a test bench for testing Cs₂Te photocathode at 100 MHz laser repetition rate has been installed at INFN LASA. This high repetition operation mode is foreseen to be the base operation mode of BriXSino and a qualification of the Cs₂Te photocathodes is a key component. While we are not at full specification due to the limited HV of the present DC gun, we discuss the status of the test bench and the initial results.
