Superconducting radio frequency photo injectors (SRF gun) offer advantages for operating in continuous wave (CW) mode and generating high-brightness and high-current beams. A new SRF gun is designed as a low emittance photo injector for LCLS-II-HE and a prototype gun is currently being developed under collaboration between SLAC, FRIB, HZDR and ANL. The aim is to demonstrate stable CW operation at a cathode gradient of 30 MV/m. One of the crucial component for successful SRF gun operation is the photocathode system. The new SRF gun will adopt the HZDR-type cathode, which includes a cathode holder fixture (cathode stalk) developed by FRIB and a sophisticated cathode exchange system designed by HZDR. This innovative cathode insertion system ensures accurate, particle-free and warm cathode exchanges. A novel alignment process targets the cathode to the stalk axis without touching cathode plug itself. To commission the prototype gun, metallic cathodes will be used. A specifically designed vacuum system ensures vacuum pressure of 10^-9 mbar for transport of a single cathode from the cleanroom to the gun. Thus maintaining cathode quality.

	A SRF gun can operate CW with a high gradient and ultra-low vacuum for high-quantum efficiency, low MTE photocathodes, useful features for delivery of high-brightness, high-repetition-rate beams. For these reasons, an SRF gun based photoinjector was chosen for a proposed Low Emittance Injector addition to the LCLS-II-HE facility, which will operate CW with bunch rates up to 1 MHz. For this injector, a prototype 185.7 MHz QWR gun is being developed in a collaborative effort among FRIB, HZDR, ANL and SLAC, with the goal of achieving a photocathode gradient of at least 30 MV/m. The photocathode is held by a coaxial fixture (cathode stalk) for thermal isolation from the cavity body. The system must allow for precise alignment of the photocathode, particle-free photocathode exchange, cryogenic (55-70 K) or warm (273-300 K) photocathode operating temperatures, and DC biasing to inhibit multipacting. A prototype cathode stalk has been built and bench tests are underway to validate the design. Measurements include RF power dissipation, DC bias hold-off, multipacting suppression and heat transfer effectiveness. This paper describes the cathode stalk design and the test results.
