TUBC1 | Recent Progress and Operational Status of the Compact ERL at KEK | 1359 |

Funding: Work supported by the Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development Program from the MEXT, and by the MEXT grant for promoting technology for nuclear security. 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. * N. Nakamura et al., IPAC2014, MOPRO110; S. Sakanaka et al., LINAC14, TUPOL01. ** R. Nagai et al., IPAC2014, WEPRO003. |

TUPWA068 | Simulation Study of Beam Halo and Loss for KEK Compact ERL | 1587 |
|
||
At the KEK Compact ERL (cERL) designed to operate at high-brilliance and high-current electron beams, the maximum averaged current was recorded at 6.5 muA for the beam energy of 20 MeV on March 2014 and should be increased up to 10 mA in a step-by-step manner in a few years. In order to increase the beam current by reducing the beam loss, we need to know the mechanism of the beam loss. For this purpose we investigate beam halo originated from characteristics and imperfections of an electron gun system, using the tracking code GPT (General Particle Tracer). The beam halo can be lost by the beam-pipe apertures and the collimators in the cERL beam line. In this paper, we will present the simulation results including the beam halo formation and the beam loss distribution along the beam line. | ||

TUPWA069 | Simulation Study on Bunch Compression and Decompression for the Compact ERL | 1591 |
|
||
Generation of THz coherent radiation (THz-CSR) is planned for the near future at the Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) in KEK where the beam recirculation and energy recovery were already achieved in February 2014 and an experiment for generation of laser-Compton scattering X-rays (LCS-X) is being prepared to start in February 2015. To achieve a ultra-short bunch less than 100 fs for generation of the THz-CSR up to 5 THz, we have studied bunch compression and decompression in the cERL mainly by using a simulation code ELEGANT. In this study, off-crest acceleration in the main superconducting linac and non-zero R56 optics in the two arc sections are used and sextupole magnets are introduced into the two arc sections for correcting T566 of the arc sections. In this paper, we will present the simulation results and the requirements for the sextupole magnets including their number and layout. | ||
