| MOPAN034 | Development of a Pulsed Sextupole Magnet System for Beam Injection at the Photon Factory Storage Ring | 230 |
|
||
| We proposed a single pulsed sextupole system for beam injection in electron storage rings. Now we are going to design a pulsed sextupole magnet and a ceramic chamber and install them at the Photon Factory storage ring next summer. The required specifications of the magnet and the vacuum chamber are estimated using a multi-particle tracking simulation. In this conference, we describe the design of the hardware for the system and the field measurement of the pulsed magnet. | ||

Funding: Work supported by the National Science Foundation under contract PHY 0131508 Recent computational optimizations have demonstrated that it should be possible to construct electron injectors based on photoemission cathodes in very high voltage DC electron guns in which the beam emittance is dominated by the thermal emittance from the cathode. Negative electron affinity photocathodes have been shown to have a naturally low thermal emittance. However, the thermal emittance depends on the illuminating wavelength; the degree of negative affinity; and the band structure of the photocathode material. As part of the development of a high brightness, high average current photoemission electron gun for the injector of an ERL light source, we have measured the thermal emittance from negative affinity GaAs and GaAsP photocathodes. The measurements were made by measuring the electron beam spot size downstream of a counter-wound solenoid lens as a function of the lens strength. Electron beam spot sizes were measured by two techniques - a 20 micron wire scanner, and a CVD diamond screen. Both Gaussian and 'tophat' spatial profiles were used, and measurements were made at several wavelengths. Results will be presented for both cathode types. |

| 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. | ||
| TUPMN045 | PF-Ring and PF-AR Operational Status | 1019 |
|
||
| In KEK, we have two synchrotron light sources which were constructed in the early 1980s. One is the Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring) and the other is the Photon Factory advanced ring (PF-AR). The PF-ring is usually operated at 2.5 GeV and sometimes ramped up to 3.0 GeV to provide photons with the energy from VUV to hard X-ray region. The PF-AR is mostly operated in a single-bunch mode of 6.5 GeV to provide pulsed hard X-rays. Operational performances of them have been upgraded through several reinforcements. After the reconstruction of the PF-ring straight sections from March to September 2005, two short-gap undulators were newly installed. They allow us to produce higher brilliant hard X-rays even at the energy of 2.5 GeV. At present we are going to prepare a top-up operation for the PF-ring. In the PF-AR, new tandem undulators have been operated in one straight section since September 2006 to generate much stronger pulsed hard X-rays for the sub-ns resolved X-ray diffraction experiments. In this conference, we report operational status of the PF-ring and the PF-AR including other machine developments. |
