We have studied techniques evaluating bunch length of micropulses in an electron beam. The bunch length of the electron beam is an important parameter for free-electron laser (FEL) facilities with linear accelerators. In order to obtain high FEL gain at Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA) in Nihon University and at Kyoto University Free Electron Laser (KU-FEL), the electron-bunch length is compressed to less than 1 ps in their undulator sections. Using the compressed electron beams, intense terahertz lights were generated by coherent radiation. The power of the coherent radiation was more than 50 micro-joule per electron-beam macropulse. We can extract the information of the bunch length of the electron-beam micropulse from the intense coherent radiation by using narrow-band diode detectors. In this presentation, experimental results of the measurements of the root-mean-square electron-bunch length using the coherent radiation at LEBRA* and KU-FEL** will be reported.

A cryocooled C-band 2.6-cell photocathode RF electron gun has been studied at Nihon University in cooperation with KEK. The cold model cavity with an input coupler was completed in spring 2016. The RF characteristics measured at room temperature were in agreement with the prediction by the CST Studio simulation. The RF characteristics at 20 K have been measured using a rather simple cavity-cooling vacuum system that was built by using existing components for tentative experiments. A thin-wall stainless-steel R48 waveguide with copper-plated inner walls has been used for the RF power transmission from the room-temperature input port to the 20-K cooled coupler waveguide. The unloaded Q-value of 73000 has been obtained by the reflection coefficient measurement at 20 K, which is in agreement with the result of the CST Studio simulation using the cavity surface resistance predicted by the theory of the anomalous skin effect.

Development of a THz light source has been underway at Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA) in Nihon University in collaboration with National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) since 2011. Basic research on coherent transition radiation (CTR) in the THz region has been carried out using the Parametric X-ray Radiation (PXR)-beam line of LEBRA. Since fiscal year 2016, the THz transport line has been constructed on the same axis as the PXR beam line taking the construction cost and simultaneous use of the two beams into account. Basic measurement and intensity upgrading test have been carried out for the THz lights generated on the PXR-generating electron beam line. The average intensity of the THz lights obtained at the output port in the accelerator room has been 5 mW. Construction of the THz transport beam line and the property of the THz lights is discussed in the report.
