Adaptive automated GaAs photocathode activation procedure for Photo-CATCH* — •Markus Engart, Joachim Enders, Maximilian Herbert, Maximilian Meier, Julian Schulze, and Victor Winter — Institut für Kernphysik, Fachbereich Physik, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany

Photocathodes based on GaAs are a common source of spin-polarized electrons for particle accelerators. To achieve a sufficient yield of electrons with a GaAs semiconductor, the cathodes are activated to negative electron affinity by applying a thin layer of cesium and an oxidant, in our case O2.The activation process is generally done manually, following an established scheme such as Co-Deposition (Co-De), i.e., the simultaneous application of Cs and O2. This Contribution presents the development of an adaptive algorithm for the automation of Co-De activations and its implementation at the Photo-CATCH test stand.
