Nb$_{3}$Sn SRF Photogun High Power Test at Cryogenic Temperatures

Superconducting RF (SRF) photoguns are emerging as promising candidates to produce highly stable electrons for Ultra fast Electron Diffraction/Microscopy (EUD/UEM) applications due to the ultrahigh shot-to-shot stability compared to room temperature RF photoguns. SRF technology was prohibitively expensive for industrial use until two recent advancements: Nb $_{3}$ Sn and conduction cooling. SRF gun can provide a CW operation capability while consuming only several Watts of RF power which eliminates the need of an expensive high power RF system and saves a facility footprint. Euclid is developing a continuous wave (CW), 1.5-cell, MeV-scale SRF conduction cooled photogun operating at 1.3 GHz. In this paper, we present first high power results of the gun covered with Nb $_{3}$ Sn.
