| TUPD104 | Development of an Yb-doped Fiber Laser System for an ERL Photocathode Gun | 2141 |
|
||
|
We are developing an Yb fiber laser system that drives an ERL photocathode gun. An Yb fiber laser is expected to have both high stability and high output power required for the drive laser of an ERL photocathode gun. First we started to develop an Yb fiber laser oscillator with a high repetition rate up to 1.3 GHz that is the RF frequency of a superconducting accelerating cavity and then a 30W preamplifier using an Yb doped photonic crystal fiber. We report our recent progress in this development. |

| TUPE083 | Effects of Alignment Error of Main Superconducting Cavities on ERLs and their Correction | 2314 |
|
||
|
In ERLs, superconducting cavities accelerate low-emittance beams with high-gradient standing-wave RF fields. If alignment error of the cavities is considerable, they can harmfully affect the beam trajectory and quality because the cavities have strong transverse focusing. Achieving high alignment accuracy of the cavities is difficult compared with the other ERL elements such as magnets because the cavities are contained in cryomodules. Therefore we studied effects of the alignment error of main superconducting cavities with analytical approaches and simulations, using a one-loop model of the compact ERL as an example. In this paper, we present the effects of alignment error of main superconducting cavities on ERLs and their correction. |

| TUPE084 | Tolerance Study on RF Amplitude and Phase of Main Superconducting Cavities and Injection Timing for the Compact ERL | 2317 |
|
||
|
In ERL-based light sources, higher accuracy is expected to be required for RF control and timing, because the ERL beam has much shorter bunch length (less than 100 fs at minimum) compared with that of the existing SR sources. We studied effects of RF amplitude and phase variation of main superconducting cavities and effects of timing jitter of beam injection from an injector, using a simulation code 'elegant'. In this paper, we present the simulation results and discuss tolerances for the RF amplitude and phase and the injection timing. |

| TUPE090 | Progress in Construction of Gun Test Facility for Compact ERL | 2335 |
|
||
|
Compact ERL (cERL) is a test accelerator to establish accelerator technologies for GeV-class synchrotron light source based on ERL (Energy Recovery Linac), and will be constructed in KEK. It consists of an injector with photo cathode 500 kV DC gun, a merger section, super conducting RF cavities for acceleration and energy recovery, return loops, and a beam dump. To operate and test the photo cathode gun before installing it in the cERL injector, Gun Test Facility is constructing in KEK, AR south experimental hall. The Gun Test Facility has two photo cathode guns, 200 kV gun developed by Nagoya University and new 500 kV gun which is being developed, laser system to be emitted electrons from photo cathode surface, beam transport lines, and a beam diagnostics system. The diagnostics system consists of a double slit emittance measurement system, beam position monitors, transverse profile monitors, and a deflecting cavity to measure the bunch length and the longitudinal profile. In this presentation, the progress in the construction of the Gun Test Facility and the beam dynamics simulation will be presented. |

| WEPEA035 | Test of Hybrid Fill Mode at the Photon Factory Storage Ring | 2564 |
|
||
|
A hybrid fill mode has been tested at the Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring). The hybrid fill mode consists of a train of low-current bunches and a high-current single bunch. Since a bunch-by-bunch feedback system was not available because of the high contrast of currents between the bunch train and the single bunch, we suppressed multibunch instabilities in the transverse and longitudinal planes by using the octupole magnets and RF phase modulation, respectively. We also suppressed single-bunch instabilities by controlling ring chromaticity. As a result, we successfully stored a 450 mA current with the hybrid fill mode: 1/2 filling (2.56 mA/bunch × 156) + 1 single bunch opposite to the bunch train (50 mA/bunch). The distribution of vacuum pressures along the ring was similar for the hybrid fill and the typical single-bunch mode. In this conference, we will present the results of this test experiment as well as some future subjects to be solved for the user operation. |

| TUPE091 | Recent Progress in the Energy Recovery Linac Project in Japan | 2338 |
|
||
|
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. |

| WEPEA034 | Development and Operational Status of PF-Ring and PF-AR | 2561 |
|
||
|
KEK manages two synchrotron radiation sources, Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring) of 2.5 GeV and Photon Factory advanced ring (PF-AR) of 6.5 GeV. These rings share an injector linac with the two main rings of KEK B-factory, 8-GeV HER and 3.5-GeV LER. Recently, the linac has succeeded in a pulse by pulse multi-energy acceleration. A top-up operation of PF-ring has been realized as the simultaneous continuous injection to the 3 rings, PF-ring, HER and LER. Development of new injection scheme using a pulsed sextupole magnet continues aiming at practical use in the top-up operation. A rapid-polarization-switching device consisting of tandem two APPLE-II type undulators has been developed at PF-ring. The first undulator was installed in 2008, and the second one will be installed in 2010 summer. PF-AR, operated in a single-bunch mode at all times, has been suffered from sudden lifetime drop phenomena attributed to dust trapping for many years. Using the movable electrodes installed for experiment, we confirmed that the discharge created by the electrode was followed by the dust trapping, and succeeded in a visual observation of luminous dust streaking in front of CCD cameras. |

| WEPD027 | Tuning of the Fast Local Bump System for Helicity Switching at the Photon Factory | 3150 |
|
||
|
The fast local bump system for the helicity switching of variably polarizing undulators has been developed at the Photon Factory ring. The system consists of two APPLE-II type variably polarizing undulators and five identical horizontal kicker magnets for local bump with four small corrector magnets to prevent the leakage of the bump. At present, one undulator and the local bump system with corrector magnets are installed. For beam test, the system was operated with frequency up to 50 Hz with feed forward correction. In this presentation, after brief description of the system configuration, the results of the test operation and fine tunings of the fast local bump system are shown. |

At PF-AR, a bending magnet power supply was updated in 2007. The converter works in the 3 pulsed PWM. A trouble caused by higher harmonics above 40th had occurred. We manufactured filters and installed in 6.6kV ac lines in 2008. Furthermore, a QF magnet power supply was updated in 2009. This paper reports on the update of PF-AR main magnet power supplies. |
