Energy Chirping Cell attached rf gun (ECC rf gun) is a photocathode rf gun specialized for ultra-short bunch generation. This ECC rf gun has been made with the collaboration of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). Although the bunch length could be controlled by the laser pulse width, the bunch length ends up to be more than 1ps due to space charge effect when using a femto-second laser and a normal 1.6 cell cavity. Concerning this phenomenon, ECC is attached right after the 1.6 cell so that the electron bunch would be compressed after the electron bunch is accelerated around 5MeV. The roll of ECC is to chirp the energy with the linear part of the rf electric field. The electron bunch would be compressed by velocity difference as it drifts. Simulation results from PARMELA and GPT show that ECC rf gun can accelerate an 100pC bunch with the bunch length less than 100fs. We already manufactured this ECC rf gun and installed in our system. We demonstrated the ultra-short bunch by measuring the coherent THz light by synchrotron radiation and transition radiation. In this conference, we will report the results of ultra-short bunch generation experiments, and future plans.

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. We already obtained a pulse-train x-rays through the laser-Compton scattering between a multi-bunch electron beam and an optical super-cavity. And also, we performed a X-ray imaging via laser-Compton X-ray. On these successful results, we decided to upgrade our system for increasing X-ray flux by 3-order of magnitudes for practical use. For an optical cavity, we designed 4-mirrors bow-tie cavity in order to increase the power. On the other hand, electron accelerator was also upgraded to increase the bunch number in the train. We use 3.6cells rf-gun and 12cell standing wave booster linac. As a result, 2-order increase of X-ray flux was achieved. Design of upgraded our laser-Compton X-ray source, the results of X-ray experiments and future prospective will be presented at the conference.

We have been developing an S-band Cs-Te photocathode rf electron gun system for pulse radiolysis and laser Compton scattering experiment at Waseda University. These researches demand for high quality and well controlled electron beam. In order to measure the ultra-short electron bunch, we decided to use rf-deflector cavity, which can convert the longitudinal distribution to that of transverse. With this technique, the longitudinal bunch profile can be obtained as the transverse profile. We used the 3D electromagnetic simulation codes HFSS for designing rf deflector cavity and GPT for beam tracking. The cavity has 2 cell structures operating on π mode, standing wave, dipole (TM120) mode at 2856MHz. We have confirmed on HFSS that 2 cell rf-deflector cavity can produce 660G magnetic field per cell on beam line with 750kW input rf power. This field strength is enough for our target, which is 100fs bunch length measurement at 4.3MeV. In this conference, we will present the cavity structure design, the present progresses and future plan.

We have been developing a laser-Compton X-ray source using optical enhancement cavity. We have studied 1um pulse laser storage in optical cavity and use for the experiments. Usage of 10um laser for optical enhancement cavity will increase the X-ray energy region of one laser-Compton X-ray source, so that we decided to develop the optical cavity for CO2 laser. We have designed external optical cavity for CO2 laser commercially available optics and verified the enhancement of CO2 laser in external optical cavity, and measured fundamental parameters such as finesse, matching efficiency, and enhancement factor. We have already achieved 540 of finesse, 43 of enhancement, and tested non-planer cavity, which storages two circular polarization separately. In this conference, we will report the design and experimental results of CO2 laser storage cavity and also some future prospects.

A high-intensity laser is essential for the LPP (Laser Produced Plasma) EUV generation, which is studied as the next generation light source of ultra-fine semiconductor lithography. Nevertheless, there is no way to directly measure the profile of high-intensity laser. Therefore, we have been developing a method for measuring high-intensity laser profile based on the laser-Compton scattering using a Cs-Te photo cathode RF-Gun at Waseda University. In this diagnostic technique, laser profile is obtained by scanning the extremely-focused electron beam, which is about 10μm by solenoid lens. We have obtained the 10μm beam size by solenoid lens using tracking code GPT (General Particle Tracer) by optimizing the beam parameter and lens shape. Recently, we have installed solenoid lens and generated focused beam. The focused beam size was evaluated by using radiochromic film called GAFCHROMIC dosimetry film type HD-810. In this conference, we will report the results of GPT simulations, beam size measurements and future prospects.
