  The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), was built with the aim to develop and characterize electron sources for future usage at FLASH and at the European XFEL. Recently, the main focus at PITZ has been the study of gun reliability and photoinjector performance at high average power. The goal is to get stable and reliable operation with 6.4 MW peak power in the gun at 650 us RF pulse length and 10 Hz repetition rate. To achieve this, a new RF feed system with two RF windows was installed at PITZ in 2014. During this test, the old gun 4.2 with a modified back-plane design for better cathode contact has been used. In this contribution the results of the RF conditioning of gun 4.2 with a detailed interlock analysis will be reported as well as results from recent electron beam characterization.

  This paper reports on the final design and the work in progress on the STAR project (IPAC2014:WEPRO115), which is under construction at the Univ. of Calabria (Italy). The project is devoted to the construction of an advanced Thomson source of monochromatic tunable, ps-long, polarized X-ray beams, ranging from 40 up to 140 KeV . At present the buildings and main plants have been completed as the acquisition of main components: the RF photo-injector, the accelerating section, laser systems for collision and photo-cathode, RF Power Source and magnets are ready to start installation and site acceptance tests. The design of laser lines is complete and simulated by ZEMAX, aiming to minimize energy losses, optical distortions and providing a tunable experimental setup as well. The RF power network is close to be tested, it's based on a 55MW (2.5us pulse) S-band Klystron driven by a 500kV Pulse Forming Network based modulator and a Low Level RF system, running at 100 Hz. The Control System is been designed using EPICS and allows to manage easily and fastly each machine parameter. We expect to start commissioning the machine by the end of 2016 and obtain the first collisions within the first part of 2017.

Recent progress on the accelerator science requires optimized phase space distributions of the beam for each applications. A classical approach to satisfy the requirements is minimizing the beam emittance with a bunch charge as much as possible. This classical approach is not efficient and not compatible to the beam dynamics nature. 6D phase-space rotation, e.g. z-x and x-y, gives a way to optimize the phase space distribution for various applications. In this article, we discus possible applications of the 6D phase space rotation. The x-y rotation generates the high aspect ratio beam for linear colliders directly without DR (Damping Ring). Combination of bunch clipping with a mechanical slit and x-z rotation can generate micro-bunch structure which is applicable for FEL enhancement and drive beam for dielectric acceleration. We present our theoretical and simulation study on these applications.

  We are developing a new compact accelerator system to generate a high power terahertz (THz) radiation at the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University. THz radiations are produced by injecting ultra-short and intense electron pulses to a short plannar undulator. The bunch compression characteristic by the newly installed chicane was investigated by observation of a coherent part of an optical transition radiation (OTR). As the result, the chicane can compress the electron bunch at the laser injection phase from 10 to 40 degree. The beam energy and relative rms energy spread were also measured and the results were 4.6 MeV and 1.3 %, respectively.

  An accelerator test facility, t-ACTS, was established at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, in which an intense coherent terahertz (THz) radiation is generated from an extremely short electron bunch. Velocity bunching scheme in a traveling-wave accelerating structure is employed to produce the short electron bunch, and a production of sub-picosecond electron bunch was demonstrated. A long-period linear undulator, which has 25 periods with a period length of 10 cm and a peak magnetic field of 0.41 T, has been developed to produce intense coherent THz radiation. Properties of the radiation from the THz undulator such as radiation fields, spectrum and angular distribution were numerically investigated based on the parameters of short electron bunch and THz undulator. By optimization of bunch compression, it is possible to extract a coherent radiation of fundamental mode excluding higher-order mode. The detail of the numerical studies for the coherent undulator radiation will be reported in the conference.

  A test-Accelerator as Coherent Terahertz Source (t-ACTS) project has been under development at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University. In order to generate a coherent radiation in terahertz (THz) region, it is necessary to produce sub-picosecond electron pulses. Velocity bunching scheme is employed for the short electron pulse production in t-ACTS. We experimentally confirmed the production of short electron pulse under 500 fs by measuring the bunch length using a streak camera. Coherent transition radiation in THz region was produced by which the short electron pulses pass through a vacuum-metal interface. Several radiation properties including spatial distribution, polarization and spectrum were measured and compared with theoretical calculations. The details of the beam experiment at t-ACTS are described.

  Radioactive isotopes have been produced via photo-nuclear reaction using a 60 MeV high-power electron linac for research fields of nuclear chemistry and radioac-tive analysis at Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), Tohoku University. The electron beam with an average current more than 100 μA is transported to an electron-bremsstrahlung gamma-ray converter of 2 mm thickness platinum or tungsten plate at the irradiation station. A target of 10 mm diameter is placed 3 cm behind a converter. It is enclosed with a quartz glass in the water cooling system and is irradiated for photonuclear reaction. Since the correlation between the spatial profile of bremsstrahlung gamma-rays at the target position and accelerator parameters is of our primary interest, nickel thin films are irradiated and the profiles of bremsstrahlung gamma-rays are measured by intensity distribution measurements of 57Ni radioactivity using the phosphorus imaging plate. In the meantime, the beam emittance and Twiss parameters are measured.

  Precisely locating field emission (FE) emitters on a realistic surface in rf structures is technically chal-lenging in general due to the wide emitting phase and the broad energy spread. A method to achieve in situ high resolution FE imaging has been proposed by using solenoids and a collimator to select electrons emitted at certain phases. The phase selection criterion and imaging properties have been studied by the beam dynamics code ASTRA. Detailed results are presented in this paper.

  The first in situ high resolution field emission (FE) imaging experiment has been carried out on an L-band photocathode gun test stand at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility (AWA). Separated strong emitters have been observed to dominate the field emission. Field enhancement factor, beta, of small regions on the cathode has been measured with the imaging system. It is shown that most strong emitters overlaps with the high beta regions. The post surface examinations reveal the origins of ~75% strong emitters overlap with the spots where rf breakdown have occurred. Detailed results are presented in this paper.

  Modern cargo inspection system applies dual-energy X-ray for material discrimination. Based on the com-pact C-band 6 MeV standing-wave accelerating struc-tures developed at Tsinghua University, a compact C-band 4/8 MeV dual-energy accelerator has been pro-posed, fabricated and tested. Compared with that of the conventional S-band 3/6 MeV dual-energy accelera-tor at Tsinghua University, the volume and the weight of the C-band one has been reduced by ~40% and ~30%, respectively. Detailed review of this C-band dual-energy accelerator is present in the paper.

  Twin electron bunches, generated, accelerated and compressed in the same acceleration bucket, have attracted a lot of interest in the free-electron lasers and wakefield acceleration. The recent successful experiment at the LCLS used twin bunches to generate two-color two x-ray pulses with tunable time delay and energy separation. In this note, we apply the twin bunches to the plasma wakefield acceleration. Numerical simulations show that based on the beamline of the FACET-II, we can generate high-intensity two electron bunches with time delay from  ∼ 100 fs to picoseconds, which will benefit the control of high-gradient witness bunch acceleration in a plasma.

  High peak current electron bunch trains with tunable terahertz (THz) spacing are produced and measured experimentally. An initial picosecond periodic modulation in the temporal profile of a relativistic electron beam is magnified by the longitudinal space charge forces. As opposed to trying to reduce its smearing effect for large beam current, we take advantages of the nonlinear space charge oscillation through controlling the plasma phase advance. The spacing of the bunch train can be varied continuously either by tuning the velocity bunching of a radio-frequency gun or by tuning the compression of a downstream magnetic chicane. The narrow-band μJ-level THz radiation from the bunch train are also measured with tunable central frequency of the spectral from ~0.5 THz to 1.6 THz. The bunch train measurements are consistent with the particle tracking simulations.

Based on the past experience in slow positron beam, researchers at NSRL/USTC proposed a fast positron source for detection of material deep tiny flaws. Different from conventional positron sources used in positron annihilation techniques, the planned positron source will be a positron production linac, similar to positron injectors used in colliders. To compress the positron pulse, the bombarding electron beam comes from a short bunch photo-injector. A computer simulation was performed using EGS4 and PARMELA code. The bombarding electron bunch is 300pC, with an energy of 30MeV. Simulations results showed that it is reasonable to expect a beam of more than 105 positrons per pulse for future positron annihilation studies. Further work is to be done to achieve precise control of beam energy.

  The IREN facility (Intense Resonance Neutron Source) is now been tested and upgraded in JINR. The linear electron accelerator LUE-200 is used to generate intense fluxes of resonant photo-neutrons. Linac should deliver up to 200 MeV electron beam with 1 A or more current in 100 - 200 ns pulses. It consists of electron source, LEBT including buncher and two main accelerating sections (only one is installed up to now). Test operations shows that beam loading sufficiently influences the output beam parameters and beam energy after first section decreases from planned 55-60 MeV to 35 MeV. The buncher doesn't provide an efficient beam bunching also and beam recapturing by main section due to this is very low. Dynamics of the electron beam for traveling wave S-band linac LUE-200 was studied by numerical simulations. In report results of beam dynamics simulation and optimization taking into account beam loading discuss, parameters for new more effective buncher presents and first results of such buncher development shows.

  Hybrid electron linacs with standing and travelling wave accelerating sections are not well described in literature. Limited number of studies have shown that application of these systems makes it possible to develop a compact linac with high efficiency and simpler power system. Typically, these systems use well-studied bi-periodical accelerating structure (BAS) cells for a standing wave section and disc-loaded waveguides (DLW) for a traveling wave section. This paper describes the development of such system using DLW cells with magnetic coupling (DLW-M). Here BAS appears as an absorbing load connected to the DLW-M accelerating structure by rectangular waveguide allowing to have theoretical zero reflection at RF input. Such system also provides possibility of plain beam output energy adjustment. Studies of the structure were carried out using equivalent circuits methods and numerical 3D-modeling. Beam dynamics was calculated.

  Joint team of CORAD and MEPhI developed a new industrial accelerating structure for average beam power up to 20 kW and energy range from 7.5 to 10 MeV. The use of modern methods and codes for beam dynamics simulation, raised coupling coefficient and group velocity of SW biperiodic accelerating structure allowed to reach high pulse power utilization and obtain high efficiency. Gentle buncher provides high capturing coefficient and narrow energy spectrum. The first linear accelerator with this structure was constructed and tested in collaboration with the company EB Tech.

  Compact electron linear accelerators for small energies are now found their place in the industrial market. Such accelerators are used for cancer treatment, cargo inspection, when one needs higher dose that X-ray source can produce, food and medicaments irradiation etc. Acceleration structures themselves are already developed very well, so the most important issue now ' is to make the whole installation with power supply, RF tracts, cooling system ' as smaller as possible to provide the structure mobility. In this article we present the development how to combine a power supply (usually it is a klystron, IOT, magnetron or solid state amplifier) with the accelerating cell itself, that can decrease installation size at least twice. No RF tracts needed, no reflected power will occur, so no circulator needed. Different power input combinations have been studied, but the smallest and the most efficient one has been manufactured for cold tests at S-band frequency range. In this structure it is very easy to vary accelerating voltage simply changing the generator beam current or the generator beam accelerating voltage.

  A High brightness injector at NSRRC is built for a VUV/THz free electron laser (FEL) facility and light source R&D. This injector with a photocathode rf gun with a solenoid for emittance compensation, a UV laser system, a 5.2 m S-band linac as well as various beam diagnostic tools has been installed in the linac test laboratory. The main goal is to produce beams with emittance smaller than 1 mm-mrad at energy of ~100 MeV. The other goal is to compress bunches to ~100 fs with charge of 100 pc and energy of ~30 MeV. In this contribution, an overview of the commissioning results of the photocathode rf gun and the laser system will be given. The first beam observation downstream the lianc will be presented in this paper.

Relativistic femtosecond electron bunches produced from the linear accelerator at the Plasma and Beam (PBP) Physics Research Facility are currently used to generate THz radiation via transition radiation. An upgrade to increase the intensity of the THz radiation by using a coherent undulator radiation method is conducted. Optimizations, measurements and analysis of the electron beam properties, which include current, energy and energy spread as well as electron bunch length, are performed to investigate the capability of electron beam production from the current accelerator system. This is also to estimate the possibility to produce the coherent undulator radiation of the PBP-CMU linac. Expected characteristics of the coherent undulator radiation are studied and reported in this contribution.

  The Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) is a facility designed to provide high quality electron beams for accelerator systems development, as well as industrial and scientific applications. A key performance indicator for many applications is the inherent beam jitter on the machine (temporal, momentum and positional). Analysis of this beam jitter indicates that there are several independent mechanisms driving the beam motion. We use model independent analysis to correlate various dominant modes of beam jitter and compare them to simulations. We also compare the dominant modes before and after intervention work on the DLLRF timing system, and determine the relevant changes in beam motion.

  The Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) is a facility designed to provide a high quality electron beam for accelerator systems development, as well as industrial and scientific applications. Currently, the RF gun can deliver short bunches, of the order of 100 fs to a few ps, with a charge of up to 250 pC, at the longer bunch lengths, and up to 4.5 MeV/c beam momentum. A model for the injector has been developed in ASTRA, together with a suite of scripts to create scans of the available parameters around an empirically found arbitrarily optimal working point. The space of parameters consists of everything that can be changed in the control room, and ranges from bunch charge to laser spot size on the cathode, together with all magnet settings where and if necessary. The various scans facilitate the task of identifying where exactly the accelerator is in terms of parameters and trends. Initial comparisons of screen images are made between the model and reality. Ultimately, the goal of the model is to robustly and repeatably establish a desired operating setup on a daily basis from an unknown switch on condition.

  A 15-cell transverse deflecting cavity based on a SLAC design was fabricated at the Advanced Photon Source and is being prepared for installation into the Injector Test Stand. A beadpull method for tuning was selected in lieu of the nodal position method to minimize the possibility of contamination and surface damage to the irises. The process has been successfully documented for many accelerating mode structures, but there has been limited application to dipole mode structures. In this paper, we will discuss the methodology for tuning and conditioning a 2.8 GHz backward-traveling wave deflecting cavity.

TUPOW030 A CW Normal Conducting RF Cavity for Fast Chirp Control in the LCLS-II 1817
 
  • M.H. Nasr, P. Emma, S.G. Tantawi
    SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
 
  The LCLS-II is a high repetition-rate Free-Electron Laser (FEL) facility under construction at SLAC. A new 4-GeV continuous wave (CW) superconducting (SC) L-band linac is being built to provide an electron bunch rate of up to 1 MHz, with bunches rapidly switched between two FEL undulators. It is desirable to provide peak current (i.e., pulse length) control in each FEL independently by varying the RF phase (chirp) prior to the first bunch compressor. However, the high-Q, SCRF, with its 1-ms fill-time, cannot be changed within one bunch spacing (1 us). So to provide a small chirp adjustment from bunch to bunch, we propose a short CW copper RF accelerating cavity, located just after the injector, with < 250-ns fill-time designed to adjust the beam chirp at zero-crossing phase. We examined RF cavity designs spanning RF frequencies from L-band to X-band. We considered both SW and TW structures. We found an optimal solution with 2 cm iris diameter, SW RF cavity, operating at C-band with input power of only 10 kW. If one can afford to operate with smaller diameter, from a wakefield point of view, then similar structure at X-band may require only 500 W with 5 mm iris diameter.

TUPOW032 Modelling of the Short Bunch Optics for BERLinPro 1820
 
  • A. Ginter, A.N. Matveenko
    HZB, Berlin, Germany
 
  The Energy Recovery Linac principle allows compressing electron bunches to lengths at least two orders of magnitude shorter compared to storage rings. At BERLinPro bunch compression and decompression can be done in two stages in the injector and main arcs. Starting with different bunch lengths from the gun the distribution of compression between these two stages is subject to optimization. Simulations show that the length and shape of the bunch in the injector and before the linac are the limiting factors for minimal bunch length. Injector simulations have to consider space charge effects, whereas CSR effects are limiting compression in the arcs. The strength of these effects and optimal compression ratios changes with different bunch charges. Optimization and simulation tools have to be chosen according to the energy regime and dominant collective effects. Current status of injector optimization and effect on the compressed bunch are presented.

Beam operation of the BERLinPro energy recovery linac project, whose construction is under way, will initially start using the photoinjector and booster modules. In a second step the recirculation beam line and the main linac module will be added. Here the current design status of the main linac module is described. Results of wake field simulations are compared for different set ups. We also report on the manufacturing aspects including the design of the waveguide groups needed for HOM damping and the choice of flange-gasket-pairings appropriate for rectangular waveguides. Also mechanical considerations are included.

The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin is constructing the Energy Recovery Linac Prototype BERLinPro at the Berlin Adlershof site. The project is intended to expand the required accelerator physics and technology knowledge mandatory for the design, construction and operation of future synchrotron light sources. The project goal is the generation of a high current (100 mA), high brilliance (norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad) cw electron beam. We report on the project progress: since spring 2015 the building is under construction, ready for occupancy in January 2017. The planning phase for the first project stage is completed for the warm machine parts, the SRF gun and partly for the SRF booster. Most of the components have been ordered and are in fabrication with some already delivered. An update of the status of the various subprojects as well as a summary of future activities will be given. Project milestones and details of the timeline will be reviewed.

  The goal of Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project (BERLinPro) is the generation of a 50 MeV, 100-mA low emittance (below 1 mm mrad) CW electron beam at 2 ps rms bunch duration or below. Three different types of 1.3 GHz SRF modules will be employed: the electron gun, the booster and the main linac. Precise RF amplitude and phase control are needed due to the beam recovery pro-cess. In this paper we describe the first tests of the Low Level RF control of the first injector prototype at the HoBiCaT facility, implemented in the digital VME-based LLRF controller developed by Cornell University. Tuner movement control by an mTCA.4 system, together with further plans of using this technology will be also presented.

  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.

  The compact ERL (cERL)* is a superconducting accelerator aimed at demonstrating excellent ERL technologies for the future light source. The cERL comprises a 5 MeV injector, a main linac, and a recirculation loop. In the cERL, production and transportation of low-emittance and high average-current beams (tentative goals: 1 mm-mrad and 10 mA) is primarily important. At this moment (in December 2015), beam currents of up to 80 uA (CW) have successfully been transported through the recirculation loop at a beam energy of 20 MeV. Before such high-current operations, we carefully tuned up the machine so that beam losses became very small. The beam losses were watched using fast beam-loss detectors and radiation monitors while absolute losses were estimated from measured radiation levels on the roof of the shield. After careful beam-optics corrections and elimination of beam halos / tails at low-energy section, we achieved the beam losses of at most a few nA level at several locations along the loop, and those below 1 nA elsewhere in the loop. We will report these results together with the result of higher-current operation which is planned early in 2016.

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.

The conventional ERLs have limited peak beam current because increasing the beam charge and repetition rate leads to appearance of the beam break-up instabilities. At this stage the highest current, from the SRF ERL, is around 300 mA. A single turn (the beam will be transported through the accelerating section, interaction point and deceleration section of the AERL only once) Asymmetric Energy Recovery LINAC (AERL) is proposed. The RF cells in different sections of the cavity are tuned in such a way that only operating mode is uniform inside all of the cells. The AERL will drive the electron beams with typical energies of 10 - 30 MeV and peak currents above 1 A, enabling the generation of high flux UV/X-rays and high power coherent THz radiation. We aim to build a copper prototype of the RF cavity for a compact AERL to study its EM properties. The final goal is to build AERL based on the superconducting RF cavity. Preliminary design for AERL's cavity has been developed and will be presented. The results of numerical and analytical models and the next steps toward the AERL operation will also be discussed.

  The ELI-NP GBS is an high spectral density and monochromatic gamma ray source based upon the inverse Compton scattering effect now under construction in Magurele.  Its relevant specifications are brilliance higher than 1021, 0.5% monochromaticity and a 0.2-19.5 MeV energy tunability. Strong requirements are set for the electron beam dynamic: the control of both the transverse normalized emittance and the energy spread to optimize the spectral density and guarantee the mono chromaticity of the emitted radiation. On this basis the RF Linac optimization has been performed for the designed energy range; a sensitivity analysis of the machine to possible jitters, errors and so on has been also performed, the simulations results hare here presented.

  The ELI-NP-GBS is an advanced source of up to 20 MeV Gamma Rays based on Compton back-scattering. We present the investigation of the production of the ELI-NP gamma photon beam generated by Compton back-scattering between the electron bunch accelerated in the linac and the laser pulse. At the interaction point (IP), the Compton backscattering properties, as spectral flux, brilliance and polarization are evaluated by the Klein-Nishina cross section. The gamma beam produced has energy ranging from 0.2 to 19.5 MeV and bandwidth of 0.5%. In order to define the optimal layout and evaluate the performances of the collimation and detection systems, a detailed Monte Carlo simulation activity has been carried out taking into account possible jitters and errors.

  The ELI-NP Gamma Beam System is an advanced gamma ray source based on the Compton back-scattering effect with unprecedented specifications of brilliance ( >1021), monochromaticity (0.5%) and energy tunability (0.2 - 19.5 MeV), presently under construction in Magurele-Bucharest (RO). Here the head-on collision is foreseen between an intense high power laser beam and a high brightness high quality electron beam with a maximum kinetic energy of 740 MeV. The electron beam dynamics analysis and control for the ELI-NP GBS Linac in the single and multi bunch mode have been investigated and are here illustrated.

Terahertz part of electromagnetic spectrum has a variety of potential applications ranging from fundamental to security applications. Further advances in development of a linac based, tunable, and narrow band coherent source of THz radiation are very important. Mechanisms of Cherenkov radiation and Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR) [*] may be used for generation of THz radiation via coherent emission [**, ***]. In this report we will present experimental investigations of the SPR generated from the corrugated capillary with a reflector, using the femtosecond multi-bunch electron beam of LUCX accelerator at KEK, Japan [****]. LUCX is capable to generate a train of 4 bunches each with 200 femtosecond (60 micrometer) duration and 200 micrometer transverse size. We will discuss the composite design of the capillary, measurements of the SPR angular distributions and the comparison of these measurements with PIC simulations. In addition, we will discuss SPR spectral characteristics; bunch energy modulation, introduced by the corrugated capillary; and the way in which the bunch spacing changes the spectrum and angular distributions of SPR.

  LUCX facility at KEK is used as the high brightness pre-bunched electron beam source for radiation experiments. Emittance measurement and optimization is one of the important research activities for newly developed operation mode of the facility. Characterization of the pre-bunched beam (THz sequence of a hundred femtosecond bunches) properties opens a possibility to establish detailed simulation of the THz FEL radiation yield and continuously improve pre-bunched beam dynamics insight. Emittance has been measured by the Q-scan method. The measurement results and possible ways of emittance optimization are discussed. The measurement results are compared with beam dynamics simulation done by self-consistent BEAMDULAC-BL code.

Our aim is to obtain a clear X-ray image in a shorter period of times and the target number of X-ray is 1.7x107 photons/pulse with 10% bandwidth. In the accelerator, an electron beam with the energy of 18-24 MeV is generated by an S-band normal conducting accelerator. The beam is collided with a laser pulse stacked in a 4-mirror planar optical cavity and then 6-10 keV X-rays are generated by LCS. Presently, the generation of X-rays with the number of 3x106 photons/pulse at the collision point has been achieved. X-ray imaging test such as refraction contrast images and phase contrast imaging with Talbot interferometer has also started. To increase the intensity of X-rays, we are continuing the tuning of the electron beam and the optical cavity because the exposure time of X-ray imaging is too long now. We are also planning to increase the beam energy by appending the accelerating tube. In this conference, the recent results and upgrade plan in LUCX will be reported.

  We have been developing a compact accelerator based a laser photocathode rf electron gun at Waseda University. Low emittance and short bunched electron beam can be generated from the gun. Also, the rf transverse deflecting cavity was developed for the bunch length measurement. We performed an experiment for generating a coherent Cherenkov radiation using bunch tilting. The rf transverse deflector can give a tilt for the electron bunch, and the tilt angle was set to the Cherenkov radiating angle which determined by the target refractive index. We successfully demonstrated a coherent Cherenkov radiation and the characterization of the radiation. The principle of coherent Cherenkov radiation generation, the experimental results and future prospective will be presented at the conference.

The photoinjector at the new Fermilab FAST facility will accelerate electron beams to about 50 GeV. After initial beam commissioning, channeling radiation experiments to generate hard X-rays will be performed. In the initial stage, low bunch charge beams will be used to keep the photon count rate low and avoid pile up in the detector. We report here on the optics solutions, the expected channaling spectrum including background from bremmstrahlung and the use of a Compton scatterer for higher bunch charge operation.

We discuss the generation of parametric X-rays (PXR) in the photoinjector at the new FAST facility at Fermilab. Detailed calculations of the intensity spectrum, energy and angular widths and spectral brilliance with a diamond crystal are presented. We also report on expected results with PXR generated while the beam is channeling. The low emittance electron beam makes this facility a promising source for creating brilliant X-rays.

In July 2015, the first beam of 10 keV X-rays from our FEL based inverse-Compton scattering X-ray source was detected.* In this setup, 3 micron laser pulses at 2.856 GHz repetition rate from a free electron laser are collided head-on with 40 MeV electron bunches driving the laser. To attain our objective the ebeam was required to have 1) a tight focus at the X-ray interaction point, 2) vertical and horizontal envelopes matched to the downstream undulator, 3) minimized transverse dimensions for low ionizing radiation. Optimization of these quantities required information on the evolution of the beam profiles between the beam spot images on the available insertable screens, leading to the need for a simulator to accurately trace the beam profiles through the system. A simulator was developed and used to optimize the system Twiss parameters by comparing the effectiveness of the beam profiles computed by fitting the profiles to the observed beam spot images along the beamline for different cathode positions. This method proved to be considerably more flexible and effective than the more traditional quadrupole scan technique. Summery of the designed system and results are provided.

Laser-Compton X-rays have been produced at LLNL, and results agree very well with modeling predictions. An X-ray CCD camera and image plates were calibrated and used to characterize the 30 keV X-ray beam. A resolution test pattern was imaged to measure the source size. K-edge absorption images using thin foils confirm the narrow bandwidth of the source and offer electron beam diagnostics.

A method for producing narrow-band THz radiation proposes passing an ultra-relativistic beam through a metallic pipe with small periodic corrugations*. We present results of a measurement of such an arrangement at BNL's Advanced Test Facility (ATF). Our pipe was copper and was 5 cm long; the aperture was cylindrically symmetric, with a 1 mm (radius) bore and a corrugation depth (peak-to-peak) of 60 um. In the experiment we measured both the effect on the beam of the structure wakefield and the spectral properties of the radiation excited by the beam. We began by injecting a relatively long beam–-compared to the wavelength of the radiation–-to excite the structure, and then used a downstream spectrometer to infer the radiation wavelength. This was followed by injecting a shorter bunch, and then using an interferometer (also downstream of the corrugated pipe) to measure the spectrum of the induced THz radiation. Our experimental set-up was simple and not optimized for the efficient collection of the radiation by e.g. the use of tapered horns. As such it can be considered a proof-of-principle experiment.

Design features and some past experimental results are presented for a sub-THz wave source employing the Advanced Photon Source's RF thermionic electron gun. The setup includes a compact alpha-magnet, four quadrupoles, a novel radiator, a THz transport line, and THz diagnostics. The radiator is composed of a dielectric-free, planar, over-sized structure with gratings. The gratings are integrated into a combined horn antenna and ~90° permanent bending magnet. The magnetic lattice enables operation in different modes, including conversion to a flat beam for efficient interaction with the radiating structure. The experiment described demonstrated the generation of narrow bandwidth THz radiation from a compact, laser and undulator-free, table-top system. This concept could be scaled to create a THz-sub-THz source capable of operating in long-pulse, multi-bunch, and CW modes. Additionally, the system can be used to remove unwanted time-dependent energy variations in longitudinally compressed electron bunches or for various time-dependent beam diagnostics. Plans for future experiments and upgrades are also discussed.

  A coronagraph was constructed on the Optical Diagnostic Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron to observe the tails of the stored beam and the injected beam on the first few turns. Some results are presented with special emphasis on the limitation of the dynamic range due to the quality of the synchrotron light extraction mirror.
