Funding: This work is supported by MECSST High Tech Research Center Project No. 707 and JSPS (B) (2) 18340079. At Waseda University, we have succeeded in generating soft X-rays based on laser Compton scattering. The energies are within "Water Window" part (250~500eV) where the X-ray absorption coefficient of water is much less than that of constituent elements of living body such as carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. For this reason, it is expected to apply to a bio-microscope with which we can observe living cells without dehydration. To improve the generation system, we remodeled our collision chamber and adopted 3-pass flash lamp amplifier system. With these modifications, we achieved high S/N ratio. The photon number detected by MCP was 278/pulse, tenfold increase of that in last year. Moreover, we succeeded in generating soft X-rays stably for more than 10 hours. Now we are planning to measure two-dimensional distribution of the X-rays by CCD. In this conference, experimental results and future plans will be reported. |

| TUPMN050 | Development of Pulsed-Laser Super-Cavity for Compact X-Ray Source Based on Laser-Compton Scattering | 1034 |
|

| A compact and high quality x-ray source is required from various field, such as medical diagnosis, drug manifacturing and biological sciences. Laser-Compton based x-ray source that consist of a compact electron storage ring and a pulsed-laser super-cavity is one of the solutions of compact x-ray source. Pulsed-laser super-cavity has been developed for a compact high brightness x-ray sources at KEK-ATF. The pulsed-laser super-cavity increases the laser power and stably makes small laser beam size at the collision point with the electron beam. Recently, 357MHz mode-locked Nd:VAN laser pulses can be stacked stably in a 420mm long Fabry-Perot cavity with 1'000 enhancement in our R&D. Therefore, we have planned a compact hard x-ray sources using 50MeV multi-bunch electrons and a pulse stacking technology with 42cm Fabry-Perot cavity. (LUCX Project at KEK) The photon flux is multiplied with the number of bunches by using multi-bunch beam and super-cavity. Development of the super-cavity and present result of LUCX will be presented at the conference. | ||

High-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source is required for next generation semiconductor lithography. We start to develop a compact EUV source in the spectral range of 13-14 nm, which is based on laser Compton scattering between a 7 MeV electron beam and a high intensity CO2 laser pulse. Electron beam is pre-bunched using two different wavelengths of laser pulses with a dispersion section of beam transport line*,**. In this conference, we describe the results of numerical study for the EUV source and a plan of test experiment generating micro-bunched electron beam.

| THPMN040 | Development of an S-band Cs2Te-Cathode RF Gun with New RF Tuners | 2808 |
|
||
| We have been studying an S-band Cs2Te-Cathode RF Gun with 1.6 cells. The new gun cavity reported in this poster has new RF tuners, which are compact and, therefore, can be attached even on the half-cell. RF balance between the full- and half-cells is adjustable by using the tuners on both cells. Compared to the existing cavity, a Helicoflex seal for half-cell adjustment is not needed for new one. This structure is expected to have advantages for gun machining, for Q factor of the cavity, and for reduction of dark current from the RF gun. The cathode is made by evaporation on a Mo plug, and the plug is attached by a load lock system. We report status of the gun development. | ||
| TUPMN051 | Development of Photocathode RF Gun and Laser System for Multi-collision Laser Compton Scattering | 1037 |
|
||
| A compact soft and hard X-ray source via laser Compton scattering is required for biological, medical and industrial science because it has many benefits about generated X-rays such as short pulse, quasi-monochromatic, energy tunability and good directivity. Our X-ray source is conventionally the single collision system between an electron pulse and a laser pulse. To increase X-ray yield, we have developed a multi-collision system with a multi-bunch electron beam and a laser optical cavity. The multi-bunch beam will be generated from a Cs-Te photocathode rf gun sytem using a multi-pulse UV laser. The laser optical cavity will be built like the regenerative amplification including a collision point between the electron pulse and the laser pulse to enhance the laser peak power per 1 collision on laser Compton scattering. In this conference, we will describe the results of preliminary experiments for the multi-collision system and future plans. |
