| MOPEA035 | Pulse Radiolysis with Supercontinuum Probe Generated by PCF | 145 |
|

We have been studying a pump-probe pulse radiolysis as an application of the S-band photo cathode RF-Gun. Pump-probe spectroscopy is well-known method of pulse radiolysis measurement. We had used 5MeV electron beam obtained from the photo cathode RF-Gun as a pump beam, and used the white light emitted from Xe flash lamp or generated by self-phase modulation in the water cell as a probe light. However, the white probe light with high intensity, good stability and broad spectrum is a key issue for pump-probe pulse radiolysis. Supercontinuum light with photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is a new technique of white light generation. Short pulse laser through PCF spreads its spectrum by nonlinear optical effect. Supercontinuum light has very continuous spectrum, and it is studied for various applications recently. For applying supercontinuum light as a probe of pulse radiolysis experiment, we have generated a supercontinuum radiation with 7 picoseconds pulse width IR (1064nm) laser and PCF, and measured its properties. The experimental results of supercontinuum generation and design of a supercontinuum based pulse radiolysis system will be presented. |

| MOPEA036 | Design of High Brightness Light Source based on Laser-Compton Undulator for EUV Lithography Mask Inspection | 148 |
|

We will present a design of high brightness light source for EUV lithography mask inspection. The required system parameters are minimum brightness of 2500W/mm2/Sr at 13.5nm/2% bandwidth. Our design consists of super-conducting DC RF-gun as a radiator and 10.74nm CO2 laser stacked in an optical cavity as a laser undulator. Recent achievements of each component technologies, which is 1.3GHz SC-RF-gun, 10kW average power short pulse CO2 laser, and laser storage optical super-cavity, indicate the feasibility of producing required brightness based on laser Compton undulator. Design parameters of high brightness EUV source, the technological gap of the present component technologies and required further developments will be resented at the conference. |

| TUPD089 | Status and Future Plan of the Accelerator for Laser Undulator Compact X-ray Source (LUCX) | 2111 |

We have developed a compact X-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering of an electron beam and a laser pulse, which is stacked in an optical super-cavity, at LUCX accelerator in KEK. The accelerator consists of a photo-cathode rf-gun and an S-band accelerating tube and produces the multi-bunch electron beam with 100 bunches, 0.5nC bunch charge and 40MeV beam energy. It is planned to upgrade the accelerator and the super-cavity in order to increase the number of X-rays. A new RF gun with high mode separation and high Q value and a new klystron for the gun will be installed to provide good compensation with a high-intensity multi-bunch electron beam. A new optical super-cavity consisting of 4 mirrors is also being developed to increase the stacking power in the cavity and to reduce the laser size at the focal point. The first targets are to produce a multi-bunch electron beam with 1000 bunches, 0.5 nC bunch charge and 5 MeV beam energy in low energy mode and 100bunches, 2 nC and 40 MeV in high energy mode to generate X-rays by inverse Compton scattering. In this paper, the status and future plan of the accelerator will be reported. |

| THPEC026 | Experimental Results of RF Gun and Generation of Multi Bunch Beam | 4104 |
|

At Laser Undulator Compact Source (LUCX) at KEK, we designed and made a new RF Gun with high mode separation of 8.6 MHz and high Q value as compared to earlier guns. This paper presents fabrication details, low power measurements and tuning procedures followed in making the gun cavity. We also discuss in detail, experimentation done using this gun and show the measurement results. Currently we produce 100 bunch per train but we plan to go for 300 or more bunch per train operation. This will make possible to have higher charge available for laser-beam collisions to generate high flux soft X-rays by Inverse Compton Scattering at our setup. |

At Waseda University, we have been studying a high quality electron beam generation and its application experiments with Cs-Te photocathode RF-Gun. We have already succeeded in generating a stable high-charged single-bunch electron beam. To generate more intense electron beam, we designed a multi-bunch electron linac and developed the multi-pulse UV laser which irradiates to the cathode. The target values of the number of electron bunch and bunch charges are 100 bunches/train and 800 pC/bunch, respectively. In addition, we adopted the method of the amplitude modulation of the incident RF pulse to the S-band klystron in order to compensate the energy difference in each bunch because of the slow rise time of acceleration voltage in cavity and beam loading effect in the accelerating structure. In this conference, we will report design properties of our multi-bunch electron linac, the results of the multi-bunch electron beam diagnosis and the energy difference compensation using the RF amplitude modulation method. |
