| MOPE010 | Observation of Dust Trapping Using Video Cameras | 975 |
|

|
Sudden decrease in the beam lifetime is sometimes observed in many electron storage rings. Such an event has been commonly attributed to dust trapping, but its mechanism has not been entirely elucidated yet. Our recent research at PF-AR has shown that trapped dust with certain conditions can be visually observed by video cameras, and the recorded movies revealed that the trapped dust moved longitudinally. In addition, the light emission from the dust indicated that its temperature reached 1000 K or more. Thus, direct observation of trapped dust has been proved to be an effective way to investigate the dust trapping mechanism. We have carried on this research with advanced cameras, such as high-sensitivity or high-speed cameras, and the results will be presented. |

| 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. |

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. |

We are developing the superconducting (SC) cavity for Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) in Japan. In order to survey the electron emission and the heating spot of the cavity inner surface in detail, cavity diagnostics with the rotating mapping system was applied. Two types of sensors, one of which is the carbon resistor and the other is the Si PIN photo diode, were set to detect the temperature rise and electron emission. By rotating the sensor arrays around the cavity axis, a lot of information is obtained all over the cavity surface in detail. This paper reports the results of vertical tests by using this rotating mapping system with Nb 9-cell ERL cavity. |

We started to develop an input power coupler for a 1.3GHz ERL superconducting cavity for ERL main linac. Required input power is about 20kW for the cavity acceleration field of 20MV/m and the beam current of 100mA in energy recovery operation. The input coupler is designed based on the STF-BL input coupler, especially choke-mode type ceramic window was applied. After that some modifications are applied for the CW 20kW power operation. We fabricated input coupler components such as ceramic windows and bellows and carried out the high-power test of the components by using a 30kW IOT power source and a test stand constructed. |

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. |

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. |

ERL (Energy Recovery Linac) of 5GeV energy is a future plan in KEK and in order to study the technical feasibility, construction of a compact ERL machine (cERL) is considered. Beam energy and current of cERL are 245MeV and 100mA, respectively. As 1.3 GHz frequency and super conducting cavity are chosen for the RF system, similar technology with KEK STF is employed. From 2008, KEK started the preparation of cERL and one RF unit of injector linac is introduced in this fiscal 2009. A new cw klystron of 300kW out put power, 150kW Y-type circulator and high power water load were developed in FY2009. DC power supply was under manufacturing. Preliminary test of HLRF and the high power couplers are scheduled in the Photon Factory site by making use of the old DC power supply. For main accelerator, we also introduced a 30kW IOT and a 35kW klystron and a DC power supply. At the same time, cERL is determined to be constructed in the East Counter Hall in KEK and the design layout is preceded. In this paper, the recent RF source development of cERL is described. Layout of the east counter hall, where cERL is constructed, is progressed and shown in this report. |
