WG102 | Construction and Commissioning of Compact-ERL Injector at KEK | 16 |
|
||
The Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) is under construction at KEK for the future 3-GeV ERL project. During the past year, we have finished key devices, such as a 500-kV DC photocathode electron gun and superconducting (SC) cryomodules for the injector and for the main linac. We installed these devices into a shielding room of the cERL, and carried out high-voltage or high-power tests successfully. In the April of 2013, the 5-MeV injector of the cERL was completed. During April to June in 2013, we commissioned the cERL-injector successfully, and carried out beam tuning and studies. We will present the construction and commissioning of the cERL injector, together with the construction status of a return loop. | ||

WG108 | Construction of the 2nd 500 kV Photocathode DC-gun at KEK | 28 |
|
||
The 2nd 500 kV DC photocathode electron gun for a ERL injector was constructed at KEK. The gun has new functions such as employ new material for ceramic insulator, insulated anode electrode for dark current monitor, repeller electrode for elimination backward ions, extreme high vacuum pumps and so on. A high voltage conditioning is just begun from this summer. In addition, a new cathode preparation system has been developed. It can prepare three cathodes simultaneously and storage many cathodes in a good vacuum condition. The detail design was finished and the construction of all in-vacuum components is progressing. | ||

DC Photoemission Gun Development for the Compact ERL | |
|
||
The next generation ERL light sources require a high brightness and high current electron gun. We have developed a DC photoemission electron gun for the Japanese ERL light source project. This DC gun employs a segmented insulator with guard rings to protect the insulator from field emission generated from central stem electrode. We have successfully applied 500kV on the ceramics with a cathode electrode in place and generated beam from the 500kV gun at Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in October 2012. The gun was transferred to the compact ERL (cERL) at KEK for commissioning of the cERL injector. Details of the 500keV beam generation at JAEA as well as beam operational experience at the cERL will be presented. | ||

Beam Performance Measurement at Compact-ERL Injector | |
|
||
A test accelerator for a future ERL based light source has been constructed in KEK. Commissioning of the injector part has started since April 2013. In order to measure beam performance, a diagnostic beam line has been made at the downstream of the injector. We measured emittance, bunch length, energy spread, etc. This presentation reports the measurement setups and the results. | ||
