A 27-m polarization-controlled undulator that consists of four horizontal and four vertical figure-8 undulator segments and seven phase shifters will be installed at SPring-8 as the most highly brilliant soft x-ray source for the material science beamline of the University of Tokyo. Each phase shifter controls the radiation phase between undulator segments by giving a bump orbit to the electron beam with its magnetic field to generate horizontal, vertical and circular polarization states. High reproducibility and stability of the phase control and fast helicity switching of the circular polarization radiation are required for the phase shifter. We designed and fabricated a phase shifter prototype to satisfy these requirements. The phase shifter prototype consists of three H-type dipole magnets and the yokes are made of 0.1-mm-thick permalloy laminations united and insulated by varnish. Various field measurements of the prototype were performed to evaluate the performance. In this paper, we will present the phase shifter prototype for the 27-m polarization-controlled undulator and its performance.

Future synchrotron light source project using an energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in collaboration with several Japanese institutes such as the JAEA and the ISSP. We are on the way to develop such key technologies as the super-brilliant DC photo-injector and superconducting cavities that are suitable for both CW and high-current operations. We are also promoting the construction of the Compact ERL for demonstrating such key technologies. We report the latest status of our project, including update results from our photo-injector and from both superconducting cavities for the injector and the main linac, as well as the progress in the design and preparations for constructing the Compact ERL.
