	The paper describes the recent improvements of S-band RF-gun at SPring-8. The cavity of the gun is a single-cell pillbox, and the copper inner wall is used as a cathode. The electron beam from the cathode was accelerated up to 4.1 MeV at an electric field of 175 MV/m. For emittance compensation, two solenoid magnets were used. A 3m linac and a quadrupole scan emittance diagnostic were added after the RF-gun. The beam energy spread and beam emittance after the linac is presented. The beam emittance measured with quadrupole scan is compered to that measured with double slits just after the RF-gun. For high quantum efficiency, Cs2Te cathode was also tested. It is vacuum sealed in a cartridge-type electric tube and four tubes can be installed in a vacuum chamber behind the cavity. Although the quantum efficiency after RF conditioning for two hours to achieve 90MV/m was 3%, it decreased to 1% after the 28 hours RF conditioning.

	The top-up operation of the SPring-8 storage ring will start in May, 2004. In order to realize alternative injection into the booster synchrotron in the top-up operation and the NewSUBARU, an AC bending magnet replaced the DC bending magnet in the beam transport line to the booster synchrotron. This magnet operates at 1 Hz with a trapezoid current pattern. The 1-GeV electron beam goes at the bottom of the current pattern to the NewSUBARU or at the top of the pattern to the booster synchrotron. In order to obtain the higher reliability of the linac for the top-up operation, reinforcement of the beam monitor systems, further improvement of RF phase stability and upgrade of the control system were required. BPM?s has been newly installed in energy dispersion sections, and beam transport feedback control is in development. The phase variation in the RF system was reduced by the regulation of the gas pressure in the waveguide of the klystrons drive system. We re-engineered the VME systems to maximize availability of the linac operation considering its reliability, usability, expandability and flexibility.

	Top-up operation maximizes research activities in a light source facility by an infinite beam lifetime and photon beam stability. We have been improving the SPring-8 accelerators to achieve the ideal top-up operation. For the perturbation-free injection, we adjusted the magnetic field shape of four bump magnets to close the bump orbit, and introduced a scheme to suppress the stored beam oscillation induced by the nonlinearlity of sextupole magnets. These reduced the horizontal oscillation down to a third of the stored beam size. For the loss-free injection, beam collimators were installed upstream of the injection line. This realized the injection efficiency of ~100% under the restricted gap condition of in-vacuum insertion devices (ID). Since autumn 2003, we have been injecting the beams keeping the photon beam shutters opened and ID gaps closed. We developed a bunch-by-bunch feedback system to reduce the beam loss further with all the ID gaps fully closed by lowering the operating chromaticity. The operation with constant stored current is scheduled in June 2004. We present the overview and progress of the SPring-8 top-up operation focusing on our developments and results.
