  An intense, quasi-monochromatic hard X-ray beam has been generated via the laser-Compton scattering of a picosecond electron bunch with an intense femtosecond TW laser. A s-band linear accelerator of 40 MeV and Ti:Sa femtosecond TW laser were used to generate X-rays. We plan to increase the X-ray yield up to two-orders than the current one until FY2008. Our recent R&D for that purpose are generation of multi-pulse electron beam using a photo-cathode rf-gun, and multi-pulse laser cavity for Compton scattering. We briefly describe the specifications of the electron accelerator and the laser systems, together with the developments and modifications being undergone.
