The Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) is a superconducting test accelerator aimed at establishing technologies for the ERL-based future light source. After its construction during 2009 to 2013, the first CW beams of 20 MeV were successfully transported through the recirculation loop in February 2014*. Then, initial tuning of beams and evaluations of beam properties were carried out. From September to December in 2014, we are constructing a Laser Compton Scattering (LCS) source** which aims at demonstrating technology for the future high-flux quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray source. In the next run of the cERL, which begins at the end of January 2015, we plan such works as an increase in the beam current (from 10 uA to 100 uA), commissioning of the LCS source, and sustained tuning of beams for lower emittance. We will report up-to-date results of these developments.

High brightness X-rays via laser-Compton scattering (LCS) of laser photons stored in an optical cavity by a relativistic electron beam is useful for many scientific and industrial applications such as X-ray imaging. The construction of compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) is now in progress at KEK to generate low-emittance and high-current electron beams. In order to demonstrate the generation of high brightness LCS X-rays, it is necessary to develop a high average power injection laser and an optical four-mirror ring cavity with two concave mirrors which is used to produce a small spot laser beam inside the cavity. In this presentation, we will show the result of the development of the high average laser system, the LCS X-rays generation, and the X-ray imaging.

  In the KEK compact ERL (cERL), machine studies toward higher bunch charge operation is one of the most important issues. From January 2015 to April 2015, we carried out a higher bunch charge operation with an bunch charge of 0.5 pC for the experiment of laser compton scattering. After the study of space charge effect and optics tuning, we succeeded in the recirculation operation with the emittance, which was close to the design value. Moreover, a test operation in the injector section with the bunch charge of 7.7 pC was carried out as a preparation toward the recirculation operation with the average current of 10 mA.

  A high-flux photon source from the laser Compton scattering (LCS) by an electron beam in an energy-recovery linac (ERL) is a key technology for a nondestructive assay system to identify nuclear materials. In order to demonstrate accelerator and laser technologies required for a LCS photon generation, a LCS photon source is under construction at the Compact ERL (cERL). The LCS photon source consists of a mode-locked fiber laser and a laser enhancement cavity. Flux monitors and a data aqcuisition system are also under construction. The commissioning of the LCS photon source will be started in February 2015 and LCS photon generation is scheduled in March 2015. The demonstration result of the LCS photon source will be presented in detail.

In order to realize a compact industrial-use X-ray source with the laser-Compton scattering, a 325MHz superconducting spoke cavity for an electron accelerator operated at 4K is under development. After design-optimizations of the first cavity, we started fabrication process. In this paper, multipactor analyses carried out as parts of the design-optimization efforts are briefly summarized. Relations between cavity geometries and averaged secondary electron emission yield are discussed.

A 5-year research program on the development of superconducting spoke cavities for electron accelerators has been funded by MEXT, Japan since 2013. The purpose of our program is establishing design and fabrication processes of superconducting spoke cavity optimized for compact X-ray sources based on laser Compton scattering. The spoke cavity is expected to realize a compact industrial-use X-ray source with a reasonable cost and easy operation. We have chosen a cavity frequency at 325 MHz due to possible operation at 4 K and carried out cavity shape optimization in terms of electromagnetic and mechanical properties. Production of press-forming dies is also in progress. In this paper, we present overview and up-to-date status of the research program.
