TUPWA065 | Generation of Multi-bunch Beam with Beam Loading Compensation by Using RF Amplitude Modulation in Laser Undulator Compact X-ray (LUCX) | 1576 |
|
||
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.

TUPWI010 | Development of a Pulse Radiolysis System by Ultra-fast Super Continuum Probe at Waseda University | 2265 |
|
||
We have been studying the pulse radiolysis using photo-cathode rf gun at Waseda Univ. Pulse radiolysis is one of the powerful methods to trace early chemical reactions by ionizing radiation. In pulse radiolysis, the probe light absorption, which produced by active species formed by electron beam of rf gun, is measured at each wavelength and made possible to trace reactions. Therefore, we have used the super continuum (SC) light for the probe light. The SC light has a broad spectrum and is generated by nonlinear optical effect caused by injecting picosecond laser to photonic crystal fiber. However, the resulting SC light was unstable because its peak intensity was not enough. We need to use a femtosecond pulsed laser which is expected to be stronger peak intensity than a picosecond laser. We have developed a mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser based on Non-Linear Polarization Rotation as a femtosecond pulsed laser and the chirped pulse amplification system which will be able to amplify the femtosecond pulse. In this conference, we will report the performance of the SC light using this fiber laser system, recent results of pulse radiolysis experiments and the future plans.

TUPJE010 | Study of Cs-Te Photocathode for RF Electron Gun | 1632 |
|
||
At Waseda University, we have been studying high quality electron beam with an rf electron gun. In recent accelerator study and application researches, high quality electron beam are strongly required. Photocathode is a key component to generate higher quality electron beam. Cs-Te photocathode shows high quantum efficiency (Q.E.) (~10%) and has long life time (~several months). From 2013, we built a photocathode evaporation chamber and started photocathode study. In this study, our purpose is to clarify their property and to establish an ideal evaporation recipe. We succeeded in producing high quality Cs-Te photocathode, and electron beam generated by our Cs-Te photocathode shows high charge (4.6nC/bunch) and high Q.E. (1.74%) in our rf electron gun. Furthermore, we found a Q.E. recovery after Cs deposition process and it causes higher Q.E. than usual due to, we believe, Cs deposition quantity or Cs deposition speed. Thus we are now surveying the optimum Cs evaporation parameters. In this conference, we will report a detail of our photocathode development system, the latest progress of optimization study of Cs-Te photocathode and future plans.

TUPJE011 | Laser-Compton Scattering X-ray Source Based on Normal Conducting Linac and Optical Enhancement Cavity | 1635 |
|
||
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. |
