| TUPOW036 | Recent Developments and Operational Status of the Compact ERL at KEK | 1835 |

| The Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) at KEK is a test accelerator in order to develop key components to realize remarkable ERL performance as a future light source. After the beam commissioning in December 2013, the legal current limit has been increased step-by-step like 1 uA, 10 uA, and 100 uA. Survey for the source of beam losses has been conducted in each step, and the study on beam dynamics and tuning has also been carried out. As a next step, 1 mA operation is scheduled in February 2016. In parallel to the increase in beam current, a laser Compton scattering (LCS) system which can provide high-flux X-ray to a beamline has been successfully commissioned. We report recent progress in various kinds of beam tuning: improvement of electron gun performance, high bunch charge operation, mitigation of beam losses, LCS optics tuning and bunch compression for THz radiation. | ||

Funding: Work supported by the "Grant-in-Aid for Creative Scientific Research" of JSPS (KAKENHI 15K04747) At KEK Compact ERL (cERL) we are aiming to produce high-current and low-emittance electron beams (up to 10 mA) without significant beam loss. We believe that beam halo makes a significant impact into the beam loss. Therefore, we are performing beam loss simulations to meet the results of the beam loss measurements*. In particular, a simulation of the bunch tail originated from the electron gun was performed to understand the mechanisms of the beam halo formation. Since some measured beam profiles demonstrated unexpected halo particles, several factors such as misalignment of beam line elements and kicks from the steering coils were added into the simulation. Simulation study results are compared with the related beam loss and halo measurements here. * Sakanaka et al., these proceedings |

| Two synchrotron radiation sources of KEK, the PF-ring and the PF-AR, continue their user operation with various improvements. Scrap and build of the first generation undulators of 1980s at the PF-ring is pushed forward year by year. Five new elliptically polarized undulators have been installed in these five years, and we have also installed four very narrow-gap short-period undulators generating high brilliant X-ray. The new beam transport line that enables the 6.5-GeV full energy injection for PF-AR will be completed by the end of 2016 in order to make the top-up operation of the two SR sources compatible with the continuous injection for two main rings of the Super-KEKB. We have proposed a project of further upgrade of the 2.5-GeV PF-ring to improve its horizontal emittance as 8 nm rad using combined bending magnets at the arc sections. And we are also moving ahead on proposal of constructing a new KEK light source of an extremely low emittance as 0.3 nm rad. The progress and detail of our future project will be described in this paper. | ||
