European Workshop On Photocathodes for Particle Accelerator Application 2024 - Summary of Oral Contributions

The European Workshop on Photocathodes for (particle) Accelerator Applications (EWPAA) brings together experts in the field of
\nphotocathode electron sources for use in particle accelerators with the aim of sharing their knowledge and latest research and development
\nprogress in this crucial field of particle accelerator science.
\nThe workshop is convened every other year, and is thus complementary to the P3 workshop (Photocathode Physics for Particle accelerators)
\nrun in the USA. Consequently, there is a workshop focusing on photocathodes for particle accelerator applications convened every year, either
\nin Europe or the USA.
\nThe EWPAA 2024 is the 5th meeting in this workshop series. The event was hosted by the ELBE Department at the HZDR Helmholtz–
\nZentrum Dresden–Rossendorf in Dresden between September 17th and 19th. Photocathodes have been developed, studied and utilized in SRF
\nphotoinjectors at the ELBE center for more than 20 years.
\nThe programme was organised with 7 working groups, with each oral contribution assigned to the most appropriate group. Details of the
\nevent and the scientific programme can be found at the website https://events.hifis.net/event/1255/overview. The proceedings present the
\nmain points raised by each of the speakers in their oral presentations.
\nThe Local Organizer Committee acknowledges the EWPAA Scientific Programme Members for their support in drafting and delivering the
\nagenda and thanks them for their help in organizing and achieving such a successful event.
\nThe organizers also gratefully acknowledge the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) for their partfunding
\nof the workshop cost under DFG Project No. 545151564.
\nThe next workshop in 2026 will be hosted by the Irène Joliet-Curie Laboratory (IJCLAb) at Orsay in Paris.
