A 500-kV, 10-mA photocathode DC gun has been designed and is now under fabrication by the collaboration efforts of JAEA, KEK, Hiroshima Univ. and Nagoya Univ. The Cockcroft-Walton generator and the ceramic insulator are installed upright in the SF6 tank. We have adopted a multiple-stacked cylindrical ceramic insulator, because this type of ceramic insulator has shown good stability and robustness at the 200-kV Nagoya polarized gun and the 250-kV JAEA FEL gun. The vacuum chamber, the guard-rings and the support-rod electrode are made of titanium alloy with very low out-gassing and robustness to high voltage performances. The Cockcroft-Walton generator, the ceramic insulator, the vacuum chamber and the guard-rings have been assembled and a high-voltage test has been successfully done with up to 550kV. The high-voltage test and up-to-date status of the gun development will be presented in detail.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV-class energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting active R&D efforts for that. We are developing super-brilliant DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting linacs, 1.3 GHz high CW-power rf sources, and other important components. We are also constructing a compact ERL for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using those key components. We present our recent progress in this project.

In top-up operation at SPring-8 the horizontal beam oscillation had been excited because the injection bump orbit is not closed perfectly. For this problem, we had made an effort to reduce the residual beam oscillation by the improvement of bump magnet design, reducing the effect due to the nonlinearity of sextupole magnet and introducing pulsed corrector magnet, etc. By these improvements the average amplitude of residual oscillation has now been suppressed to the level of less than 0.1 mm. Still remaining relatively large residual oscillation comes from a non-similarity of a temporal shape of magnetic field of four bump magnets. We then started development fast kicker magnet system to give a counter kick to this part of residual beam oscillation. A key technology in this development is how to generate a large pulsed current in a short period to meet the oscillation characteristic. A newly developed fast pulsed power supply can generate a current of about 300 A, or corresponding magnetic field of 4.61 mT, with a pulse width of 1.2 us. Recently, we succeeded in the reduction of the horizontal beam oscillation at the timing of firing bump magnets by using this kicker system.
