?The C-band (5712 MHz) choke-mode type accelerating structure will be used for SCSS: SPring-8 Compact SASE Source project. Since the C-band accelerator generates higher accelerating gradient than traditional S-band accelerator, it makes the machine size compact and the cost low. In order to confirm the performance of the C-band accelerating system for the 8 GeV XFEL machine, the system including the same accelerating structure and RF system have been installed in the SCSS prototype accelerator. The first SASE amplification was observed at 49 nm on June 2006. In the prototype machine, four 1.8 m long C-band accelerating structures are used to accelerate electron up to 250 MeV. The C-band accelerator?unit has one 50 MW klystron and pulse compressor, where two types of pulse compressors: SKIP and SLED were adapted. After 300-hour RF conditioning, accelerating gradient up to 32 MV/m was achieved and we confirmed there is no serious problem. Now we continue the RF conditioning to get higher accelerating gradient and find the practical limit. In this paper, we would like to report on the RF conditioning and the achieved performance of the C-band accelerator.
