Abstract: The Superconducting RF (SRF) photoinjector programme for the energy-recovery linac (ERL) test facility BERLinPro sets out to push the brightness and average current limits for ERL electron sources by tackling the main challenges related to beam dynamics of SRF photoinjectors, the incorporation of high quantum efficiency (QE) photocathodes, and suppression of unwanted beam generation. The paper details the experimental layout of the SRF photoinjector and the gun test facility GunLab at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin.<br />Proceedings of the 8th Int.
