The next generation light source such as X-ray FEL oscillator requires high brightness electron gun with megahertz repetition rate. We have developed a DC photoemission electron gun at JAEA for the compact energy recovery linac (cERL) light source under construction at KEK. 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 500-kV on the ceramics with a cathode electrode in place and generated beam from the 500kV DC photoemission gun in October 2012. Details of the beam generation test will be presented.

  The positron source of International Linear Collider (ILC) requires a circular polarized gamma-ray with a flux more than 1016 phs./s and a helical undulator-based gamma-ray source is proposed in the baseline design. Although the undulator scheme is technically feasible, it is not easy for a stand-alone operation because of the required electron energy, ~ 150GeV. In this paper, we propose an alternative method, the inverse Compton scattering with a high-power mid-infrared optical pulse generated from coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). To achieve the high flux gamma-ray, CSR with a few MHz is stacked in a high-finesse optical cavity made of a photonic crystal. In the proposed scheme, a stand-alone operation is feasible because the electron energy is less than 10GeV.

  The 35-MeV Compact Energy Recovery Linac (the Compact ERL or cERL) is under construction at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. With the Compact ERL, we aim at establishing cutting-edge technologies for the GeV-class ERL-based synchrotron light source. To install the accelerator components of the cERL, we have constructed a shielding room having an area of about 60 m x 20 m. We have then installed a 500-kV DC photocathode gun, a 5-MV superconducting (SC) cryomodule for the injector, a 30-MV SC cryomodule for the main linac, and some of the other components. High-power test on the main SC cryomodule is underway in December, 2012. High-power or high-voltage tests on the injector cryomodule and on the DC gun are planned during January to March, 2013. An injector of the Compact ERL will be commissioned in April, 2013. We report the newest status of its construction.

We have developed a laser Compton scattered gamma-ray source based on a 150-MeV racetrack microtron at Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The microtron equipped with a photocathode RF gun accelerates a single bunch of electrons to collide with a laser pulse from a Nd:YAG laser. We have employed laser pulse compression by stimulated Brillouin scattering to obtain high-flux gamma-rays, > 105 ph/s. The gamma-ray source is a prototype of commercial machine for nuclear security applications, non-destructive detection of nuclear material hidden in a ship cargo. Design and performance of the gamma-ray source are presented.

A nuclear material detection system (NMDS) using the quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray beam from a laser Compton scattering (LCS) source is proposed for the container inspection, where nuclear resonance fluorescence method is to be employed for the specific isotope identification such as U-235. In the system an electron beam of good quality at about 220-MeV must be provided for LCS. One of the most promising electron source is a compact electron accelerator named racetrack microtron (RTM). Some concepts of RTM suitable for NMDS and expected beam qualities will be presented.
