At Waseda University, various researches are done using a photocathode rf electron gun with a 1.6 cell cavity. Now we are developing a new rf cavity specialized for producing an ultra-short electron bunch, with the collaboration of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). We have used SUPERFISH for designing the new rf cavity and PARMELA for beam tracking. The new rf cavity has an extra cell following the 1.6 cell. The extra cell can chirp the energy of electron bunch so we call it ECC (Energy Chirping Cell). ECC chirp the energy because we shortened the length of iris just before the ECC and also the length of ECC itself. Moreover, electric field in ECC is made to be stronger than others. We have confirmed on PARMELA that ECC rf gun can generate an 100pC electron bunch less than 200fsec with the energy of 4.5MeV at about 2.5m away from the cathode. Such an ultra-short electron bunch enables us to generate a coherent terahertz light using ultra-short electron bunch by synchrotron radiation or transition radiation. In this conference, we would like to introduce the detail of the design of this new ECC rf gun, the present progresses and future prospects.

We have been developing a pulsed-laser storage technique in a super-cavity for a compact x-ray sources. The pulsed-laser super-cavity enables to make high peak power and small waist laser at the collision point with the electron beam. Recently, using 357 MHz mode-locked Nd:VAN laser pulses which stacked in a super-cavity scattered off a multi-bunch electron beam, we obtained a multi-pulse x-rays through the laser-Compton scattering. Then, we performed a X-ray imaging via laser-Compton X-ray. The images have edge enhancement by refraction contrast because the X-ray source spot size was small enough. This is one of the evidences that laser-Compton X-ray is high quality. Our laser-Compton experimental setup, the results of X-ray imaging and future prospective will be presented at the conference.
