In these years, a 1.2 GeV Stretcher-Booster (STB) ring at Laboratory of Nuclear Science, Tohoku University, has been mainly operated in the booster-storage mode in which the high energy gamma-ray beam generated via bremsstrahlung from internal target wire has been utilized for experiments of nuclear physics. Beam energy injected from linac is not high enough (150 or 200 MeV), so that radiation damping time is much long. Although the injector linac provides sufficient beam current without beam stacking, circulating beam current decays rapidly due to instabilities before the beam reaches the top energy. One of the main causes in the beam current limitation is supposed to be strong coupled bunch instability due to the cavity HOM. In order to suppress the instability, applicability of a third-harmonic Landau cavity has been studied for the STB. The 1.5 GHz Landau cavity was already manufactured and installed in the ring. Beam commissioning will be started soon. We are also planning to introduce a longitudinal feedback into the STB. We will report the present status of the STB in this conference.
