  A cartridge-type photocathode RF gun is under development in collaboration with SPring-8 and Hamamatsu Photonics. Each type of cathode (Cs2Te, Mg, diamond, Ag-Cs-O) is sealed in a cartridge-type vacuum tube. Several tubes can be installed in a vacuum chamber. The cathode in the tube is inserted into a center hole in the back plate of the RF gun by a vacuum manipulator. These cartridge-type photocathodes with high QE or sensitivity for visible lights, which are prepared in a factory, can be used for a long time without vacuum breaking. Since a load-lock system for forming a new high QE film is not needed, the cartridge-type RF gun becomes compact. We are going to introduce this cartridge-type system to our linac with the BNL-GUN-IV RF gun this summer. Now, we are calculating the gun parameters of the transmission cavity which has a back plate with a center hole 8mm in diameter with SUPERFISH and simulating the beam dynamics after modifying the beam line to install the system with PARMELA. We aim to use reliable Mg and high-QE Cs2Te and try diamond and Ag-Cs-O for radiation chemistry applications. The detailed numerical design and construction will be presented.

  We have succeeded in providing stable and three-times more brilliant x-ray to users by combining top-up operation with low emittance optics. The optics with the low emittance of 3nmrad was first applied to the user operation in November 2002. Although the low emittance provided the brilliant x-ray, the extremely short beam lifetime much disturbed the precise experiments. Moreover, the aborted electron beam damaged the part of vacuum chamber at the beam injection section. The low emittance operation was thus suspended in October 2003. By improving design of the vacuum chamber and introducing the top-up injection, the problems for the stable operation were resolved, and then the top-up operation with the low emittance optics has been first achieved at SPring-8. This paper illustrates how we achieved this sophisticated operation by explaining the following three essential investigations: (1) reduction of natural emittance for a storage ring with four magnet-free long straight sections, (2) protection of vacuum chamber from aborted electron beam, and (3) consistency to the top-up operation. The obtained performance is also described in the paper.

  A linac-based XFEL and an ERL are widely accepted as next-generation light sources. But they still have many technologically difficult problems to overcome. In contrast, electron beams in a storage ring are very stable. Thus, we examined the possibility of the storage ring as a next-generation light source. We designed a storage ring with an energy of 6 GeV and a circumference of 1436 m. The ring consists of 24 ten-bend achromat cells and has a natural emittance of 83 pm·rad. The circumference is equal to that of SPring-8 storage ring and the cell length is two times, which enables us to replace the existing storage ring with this new one in the SPring-8 tunnel and use the photon beam-lines without constructing new ones. Particle tracking simulation showed that the horizontal dynamic aperture at the center of a straight section is -3.7 mm and +3.4 mm and that it can be increased to -6.6 mm and +10.0 mm by changing the sextupole strength for chromaticity correction while keeping zero chromaticity. In this paper, we describe the design and the dynamic aperture of the extremely low emittance storage ring at SPring-8.
