The Photocathode Electron Gun (PEG) at SLAC is required to produce bunch intensities of up to 10{sup 11} electrons within 2 ns (8 Amps). Operation of PEG has demonstrated a `Charge Limit` phenomenon, whereby the charge that can be extracted from the gun with an intense laser beam saturates at significantly less than 10{sup 11} electrons (the expected `Space Charge Limited` charge) when the photocathode Quantum Efficiency is low. We report studies of this Charge Limit phenomenon observed with a GaAs photocathode.
