The super-conducting RF test facility (STF) at KEK has been functional since 2005, and the STF phase-I, which involves the testing of a cryomodule with four superconducting cavities, was performed at the end of 2008. In this test, intense study of the power distribution system for the possible linear collider scheme was performed. Linear power distribution and tree-like distribution were compared and also the effects of eliminating circulator are studied. Current status of RF source of KEK STF are reported.

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.
