Abstract

Early stages of commissioning the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) at Fermilab have begun. The front-end consists of a 1.5 cell normal conducting RF gun resonating at 1.3 GHz with a gradient of up to 40 MV/m, cathode for photoelectron production, laser light delivery system, and a Diagnostic table upon which instrumentation is mounted for measuring the characteristics of the photoelectron beam. We report on the design, construction, and early experience with the Diagnostic table.
