TUPMN044 | Status of R&D Efforts Toward the ERL-based Future Light Source in Japan | 1016 |
|
||
Energy Recovery Linacs (ERL), based on superconducting accelerators, are one of the most promising synchrotron light sources in future. The KEK and the JAEA, in collaboration with the ISSP, the UVSOR, and the SPring-8, are considering to realize together the ERL-based next-generation light source in Japan. To establish key technologies for that, active R&D efforts started. The R&D program includes the developments of ultra-low-emittance photocathode guns and of superconducting cavities, as well as experimental proofs of accelerator-physics issues at the ERL test facility, which will be built at the KEK campus. We are currently working on constructing a prototype photocathode gun, on designing superconducing cavities, and on designing a prototype ERL. The current plan of the prototype ERL comprises a full injector linac, one or two cryomodules for the main linac, and the beam return loop, which can be operated at beam energies from 60 to 160 MeV. The up-to-date R&D status will be reported. | ||
TUPAN045 | Beam Operation with Crab Cavities at KEKB | 1487 |
|
||
Beam operation with crab cavities is planned in early 2007 at KEKB. The crab crossing scheme is expected to increase the vertical beam-beam tune-shift parameter significantly. One crab cavity will be installed in each ring where conditions for beam optics are matched to compensate the beam crossing angle of 22 mrad. Operation results on collision tuning with the crab cavities will be presented.
