Jefferson Lab uses 100 kV DC high voltage photoguns with high polarization strained superlattice GaAs photocathodes to achieve electron beam polarization over 80%. The photocathode is subjected to back-bombardment from ionized residual gasses during operation. We present surface analyses using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to characterize photocathode damage.
