FEL is one of the ideal radiation source over the wide range of wavelength region with a high brightness and a high coherence. Many methods to improve FEL gain has been proposed by introducing an active modulation on the bunch charge distribution. The transverse-longitudinal phase-space rotation is one of the promising method to realize the density modulation as the micro-bunch structure. Initially, a beam density modulation in the transverse direction made by a mechanical slit, is properly transformed into the density modulation in the longitudinal direction by the phase-space rotation. The micro-bunch structure made with this method has a large tunability by changing the slit geometry, the beam line design, and the beam dynamics tuning. For FEL, enegy chirp made by the emittance exchange and chromaticity made by this chirp should be properly corrected. Simulation results and possible applications are discussed.

TUPWA065	Generation of Multi-bunch Beam with Beam Loading Compensation by Using RF Amplitude Modulation in Laser Undulator Compact X-ray (LUCX)	1576
	M.K. Fukuda, S. Araki, Y. Honda, N. Terunuma, J. Urakawa KEK, Ibaraki, Japan K. Sakaue, M. Washio RISE, Tokyo, Japan
	We have developed a compact X-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering between an electron beam and a laser pulse stacked in an optical cavity at Laser Undulator Compact X-ray (LUCX) accelerator in KEK. The accelerator consists of a 3.6 cell photo-cathode rf-gun, a 12cell standing wave accelerating structure and a 4-mirror planar optical cavity. Our aim is to obtain a clear X-ray image in a shorter period of times and the target flux of X-ray is 1.7x10⁷ photons/pulse with 10% bandwidth at present. To achieve this target, it is necessary to increase the intensity of an electron beam to 500nC/pulse with 1000 bunches at 30 MeV. Presently, we have achieved the generation of 24MeV beam with total charge of 600nC in 1000bunches with beam-loading compensation by using the delta T method and the amplitude modulation of RF pulse. The bunch-by-bunch energy difference is within 1.3% peak to peak. We will report the results of the multi-bunch beam generation and acceleration in this accelerator.

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.

	K. Sakaue, M. Washio Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan S. Araki, M.K. Fukuda, Y. Honda, N. Terunuma, J. Urakawa KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	Funding: Work supported by Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development Program from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan. We have been developing a compact X-ray source via laser-Compton scattering (LCS) at KEK-LUCX (Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source) facility. The LUCX system is based on S-band normal conducting linac with an energy of 30 MeV and optical enhancement cavity for photon target. As a photon target, we invented a burst mode laser pulse storage technique for a normal conducting linac, which enables to store the high power laser pulses at the timing of electron bunchs. The peak storage power exceeds to more than 250 kW with 357 MHz repetition. Electron linac is under operation with multi-bunch mode, 1000 bunches/train with 600 pC charge in each bunches. We have succeeded to produce 1000 pulse/train LCS X-ray train. Combining high repetition rate electron linac and burst mode optical enhancement cavity, more than 10⁹ ph./sec/10%b.w. flux would be possible. In this conference, the introduction of our test facility LUCX, recent expermental results, and future prospective including normal conducting LCS X-ray source will be presented.

TUPWI008	RF Gun Based Ultrafast Electron Microscopy	2259
	J. Yang, K. Tanimura, Y. Yoshida ISIR, Osaka, Japan J. Urakawa KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) would be a powerful tool for the direct visualization of structural dynamic processes in matter. The resolutions of the observation on femtosecond time scales over sub-nanometer (even atomic) spatial dimensions have long been a goal in science. To achieve such resolutions, we have designed and constructed a femtosecond time-resolved relativistic-energy electron microscopy using a photocathode radio-frequency (RF) electron gun (RF based UEM). The RF gun has successfully generated a high-brightness electron beam with bunch length of 100 fs and emittance of 0.2 mm-mrad, which are essential beam parameters for the achievement of nm-fs space-time resolution in the microscopy. Both the static measurements of both relativistic-energy electron diffraction and image have been succeeded. In this presentation, the activities on RF based UEM are introduced. The requirements and limitations of the beam parameters are reviewed. The concept and design of RF based UEM are reported. Finally, some demonstrations of the relativistic-energy UEM images are reported.

WEPWA014	Low Temperature Properties of 20 K Cooled Test Cavity for C-band 2.6-cell Photocathode RF Gun	2519

	Funding: Work supported by the Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development Program of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT). A cryogenic C-band 2.6-cell photocathode RF gun, which operates at 20 K, is under development at Nihon University for future possibility of use in a compact linac-driven X-ray source. The cavity material is 6N8 high purity copper, the RRR of which being expected to be higher than 3000. A 2.6-cell pi-mode test cavity was fabricated for investigation of the properties under low temperature of 20 K. Ultraprecision machining and diffusion bonding of the cavity were carried out in KEK. The operating frequency of the RF gun cavity is 5712 MHz. The machining dimensions of the test cavity were determined by taking into account the contraction of copper from room temperature to 20 K by approximately 0.33 %. The resonant frequency observed at around 21 K was 5711.761 MHz, which is 185 kHz higher than the expected value that was deduced from the resonant frequency obtained at 23.5 degree C in vacuum and the linear expansion coefficient data for OFC copper by NIST. The unloaded Q-value of 64500 obtained at 21 K is in agreement with the SUPERFISH calculation when the surface resistance of the RRR=3000 copper was specified with taking the anomalous skin effect into account.

WEPWA015	RF Input Coupler for 20 K Cooled C-band 2.6-cell Photocathode RF Gun	2522

	Funding: Work supported by the Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development Program of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT). For future use in a compact linac-driven X-ray source, a cryo-cooled C-band photocathode RF gun is under development. The RF experiment on the basic 2.6-cell test cavity has shown that the unloaded Q-value of the cavity at 20 K can be explained by the surface resistance based on the anomalous skin effect. Since the cavity was intended for preliminary experiments of the low temperature RF properties, a new test cavity with an RF input coupler has been designed. The basic structure of the accelerating cells has not been changed from the previous cavity. Avoiding an element with a low cooling efficiency such as the inner electrode in a coaxial coupler, a simpler cylindrical input coupler has been designed. The coupler consists of a cylindrical TM01 mode waveguide and a mode converter from a rectangular TE10 mode, with both elements placed on the accelerating axis. The structure and the dimensions of the coupler have been determined using the 3-D simulation code CST Studio so that the resonant frequency of the whole system and the coupling coefficient of the coupler meet the specifications of the RF gun. The new test cavity will be completed early in 2015 at KEK. T. Tanaka et al., Proceedings of IPAC2014, 658-660, http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/AccelConf /IPAC2014/papers/mopri030.pdf

WEPWA017	An Optimization of ILC Positron Source for Electron-Driven Scheme	2529

	International Linear Collider is a future accelerator to find new physics behind the electroweak symmetry breaking by precise measurements of Higgs sector, Top quark, and so on. ILC has capacities to reveal new phenomena beyond Standard model, such as Supersymmetry particles and dark matters. In current design of positron source, undulator scheme is adapted as a baseline. In the scheme, positrons are generated from gamma rays through pair-creation process in Ti-alloy target. Generations of the gamma rays by the undulator radiation requires more than 130 GeV electrons. Therefore, a system demonstration of the scheme is practically difficult prior to the real construction. Consequently, it is desirable to prepare a technical backup of this undulator scheme. We study an optimization of positron source based on the conventional electron-driven scheme for ILC. In this scheme, positron beam is generated by several GeV electron beam impinging on W-Re target. Although heavy heat load and destruction of the target is a potential problem, it can be relaxed by stretching the effective pulse length to 60 ms instead of 1 ms, by a dedicated electron linac for the positron production. In this report, a start-to-end simulation of the electron-driven ILC positron source is performed. Beam-loading effect caused by multi-bunch acceleration in the standing wave RF cavity is also considered.

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.

We have been developing a compact X-ray source via laser-Compton scattering (LCS) at KEK-LUCX (Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source) facility. The LUCX system is based on S-band normal conducting linac with an energy of 30 MeV and optical enhancement cavity for photon target. As a photon target, we invented a burst mode laser pulse storage technique for a normal conducting linac, which enables to store the high power laser pulses at the timing of electron bunchs. The peak storage power exceeds to more than 250 kW with 357 MHz repetition. Electron linac is under operation with multi-bunch mode, 1000 bunches/train with 600 pC charge in each bunches. We have succeeded to produce 1000 pulse/train LCS X-ray train. Combining high repetition rate electron linac and burst mode optical enhancement cavity, more than 10⁹ ph./sec/10%b.w. flux would be possible. In this conference, the introduction of our test facility LUCX, recent expermental results, and future prospective including normal conducting LCS X-ray source will be presented.

Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) would be a powerful tool for the direct visualization of structural dynamic processes in matter. The resolutions of the observation on femtosecond time scales over sub-nanometer (even atomic) spatial dimensions have long been a goal in science. To achieve such resolutions, we have designed and constructed a femtosecond time-resolved relativistic-energy electron microscopy using a photocathode radio-frequency (RF) electron gun (RF based UEM). The RF gun has successfully generated a high-brightness electron beam with bunch length of 100 fs and emittance of 0.2 mm-mrad, which are essential beam parameters for the achievement of nm-fs space-time resolution in the microscopy. Both the static measurements of both relativistic-energy electron diffraction and image have been succeeded. In this presentation, the activities on RF based UEM are introduced. The requirements and limitations of the beam parameters are reviewed. The concept and design of RF based UEM are reported. Finally, some demonstrations of the relativistic-energy UEM images are reported.

A cryogenic C-band 2.6-cell photocathode RF gun, which operates at 20 K, is under development at Nihon University for future possibility of use in a compact linac-driven X-ray source. The cavity material is 6N8 high purity copper, the RRR of which being expected to be higher than 3000. A 2.6-cell pi-mode test cavity was fabricated for investigation of the properties under low temperature of 20 K*. Ultraprecision machining and diffusion bonding of the cavity were carried out in KEK. The operating frequency of the RF gun cavity is 5712 MHz. The machining dimensions of the test cavity were determined by taking into account the contraction of copper from room temperature to 20 K by approximately 0.33 %. The resonant frequency observed at around 21 K was 5711.761 MHz, which is 185 kHz higher than the expected value that was deduced from the resonant frequency obtained at 23.5 degree C in vacuum and the linear expansion coefficient data for OFC copper by NIST**. The unloaded Q-value of 64500 obtained at 21 K is in agreement with the SUPERFISH calculation when the surface resistance of the RRR=3000 copper was specified with taking the anomalous skin effect into account.

For future use in a compact linac-driven X-ray source, a cryo-cooled C-band photocathode RF gun is under development. The RF experiment on the basic 2.6-cell test cavity has shown that the unloaded Q-value of the cavity at 20 K can be explained by the surface resistance based on the anomalous skin effect. Since the cavity was intended for preliminary experiments of the low temperature RF properties*, a new test cavity with an RF input coupler has been designed. The basic structure of the accelerating cells has not been changed from the previous cavity. Avoiding an element with a low cooling efficiency such as the inner electrode in a coaxial coupler, a simpler cylindrical input coupler has been designed. The coupler consists of a cylindrical TM01 mode waveguide and a mode converter from a rectangular TE10 mode, with both elements placed on the accelerating axis. The structure and the dimensions of the coupler have been determined using the 3-D simulation code CST Studio so that the resonant frequency of the whole system and the coupling coefficient of the coupler meet the specifications of the RF gun. The new test cavity will be completed early in 2015 at KEK.

International Linear Collider is a future accelerator to find new physics behind the electroweak symmetry breaking by precise measurements of Higgs sector, Top quark, and so on. ILC has capacities to reveal new phenomena beyond Standard model, such as Supersymmetry particles and dark matters. In current design of positron source, undulator scheme is adapted as a baseline. In the scheme, positrons are generated from gamma rays through pair-creation process in Ti-alloy target. Generations of the gamma rays by the undulator radiation requires more than 130 GeV electrons. Therefore, a system demonstration of the scheme is practically difficult prior to the real construction. Consequently, it is desirable to prepare a technical backup of this undulator scheme. We study an optimization of positron source based on the conventional electron-driven scheme for ILC. In this scheme, positron beam is generated by several GeV electron beam impinging on W-Re target. Although heavy heat load and destruction of the target is a potential problem, it can be relaxed by stretching the effective pulse length to 60 ms instead of 1 ms, by a dedicated electron linac for the positron production. In this report, a start-to-end simulation of the electron-driven ILC positron source is performed. Beam-loading effect caused by multi-bunch acceleration in the standing wave RF cavity is also considered.
