Abstract The unique high-charge L-band, 1.3 GHz, 1.5 cell gun for the new 75 MeV drive beam is in operation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility (see M.E. Conde, this proceedings.) The high-field (> 80 MV/m) photoinjector has a large area, high QE Cesium telluride photocathode (diameter > 30 mm). The photocathode, a crucial component of the upgraded facility, is fabricated on-site. The photoinjector generates high-charge, short pulse, single bunches (Q > 100 nC) and long bunch-trains (Q > 600 nC) for wakefield experiments. The performance of the photocathode for the AWA drive gun is detailed. Quantum efficiency (QE) measurements indicate long, stable photocathode lifetime under demanding conditions.
