A free electron laser facility, SwissFEL, is under construction to aim at routine operation in 2017 by Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has accepted order of one C-band waveguide network prototype (CWNP) for SwissFEL project in June 2014 and has been already delivered to PSI in December 2014. A C-band waveguide network connects the klystron to the four inputs of the accelerating structures. The CWNP has already installed in the test facility and high power test of it is planned by PSI. MHI also has accepted order of 26 C-band network series (CWNS) and the production of them have been started. We report the properties and the low-level RF test results for the CWNP.

Development of a superconducting RF electron gun (SRF gun) was started in KEK for the high-intensity electron gun which is required for the next generation ERL or a high power FEL system, in addition to the conventional DC electron gun. The preconditions of this SRF gun are 1.3 GHz of the resonant frequency, 100 mA of the beam current, and 2 MeV of the energy in the exit of gun. It was shown that low maximum surface electric field (42 MV/m), low emittance (1 mm mrad) and narrow energy spread (2 keV, 0.1 %) can be obtained by a simulation, and the manufacture situation was shown the last meeting. The manufactured cavity was named prototype #1 and electromagnetic evaluation and vertical test were performed. The result is separately reported by this meeting.
Here, the examining result of prototype #2 which added a high power RF coupler and the choke structure for cathode exchange is reported. It designed in consideration of the structure which attached two coaxial couplers in order to input 200 kW of RF power, the choke structure for making cathode exchange easy, and its manufacturability.

A high-intensity electron gun is required for the next generation ERL or a high power FEL system. KEK started development of a superconducting RF electron gun in addition to the conventional DC electron gun. 1.3 GHz of the resonant frequency, 100 mA of the beam current, and 2 MeV of the energy in the exit of gun are made into the precondition. By combining electromagnetic field analysis and charged particle dynamics analysis, the optimal design of the cavity shape, where the maximum surface electric field of less than 50 MV/m, a low emittance of less than 1 mm mrad, and a low energy spread of less than 0.1 % (2 keV)) can be filled with this precondition, was tried. The designed elliptical cavity is a 1.5-cell structure made of Nb material, and the three half cells are manufactured from one common die. Thermo-structural analysis under cryogenic temperature and vacuum environment was also carried out, and the resonance frequency change would be evaluated.

In April 2013, MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD. contracted with RIKEN to manufacture six C-band diskloaded type and constant gradient (CG) accelerating structures for XFEL facility SACLA (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser). These structures were newly designed for operation with an acceleration gradient of over 45 MeV/m and a repletion rate of 120 pps by RIKEN. We report the production and low-power RF properties of these accelerating structures.

当社MHI では、高エネルギー加速器研究機構（KEK）にて建設されているcERL設備において、入射部・主加速部の超伝導加速空洞モジュールの製造に取り組み、その状況について報告する。

D. Suzuki et al.

Tohoku University had 300MeV linac and the 1.2GeV booster synchrotron for Electron Photon Science. The high energy part of the linac was broken by the 11 March 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and restoration of the linac was difficult. Therefore, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) supplied new 90MeV linac for booster synchrotron and completed the linac in January, 2013. It reports on production results of the linac.

In Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) in Korea construction of XFEL (X-ray Free electron Lazar) institution is under construction aiming at the completion in 2014[1]. Energy 10GeV of the linac part of this institution and main frequency are planned in S-band (2,856 MHz), and about 178 S-band 3m accelerating structures are due to be used for this linac. The oscillation of an X-ray laser requires very low emittance electron beam. On the other hand, since the accelerating structure which accelerates an electron beam has a feed port of microwave (iris), the electromagnetic field asymmetry of the microwave feeding device called coupler worsens the emittance of an electron beam. MHI manufactured two kinds of S-band accelerating structures with which the electromagnetic field asymmetry of coupler cavity was compensated for PALXFEL linac. We report these accelerating structures.

XFEL/SPring-8 “SACLA”, designed for the 8 GeV beam energy and the under 0.06 nm shortest wavelength lasing, is now under commissioning to open it to the public in the end of fiscal year 2011. To radiate stable and brilliant XFEL, it is important to keep the high peak current of the electron beam after the bunch compression. A transverse RF deflector is used for diagnosing the longitudinal bunch structure. A required transverse voltage for SACLA is more than 40 MV. To achieve this requirement, we developed a C-band RF deflector, and we manufactured two 1.8m-long C-band RF deflectors. It was confirmed that the RF properties of manufactured deflectors were almost equivalent to the design values by the low-level RF measurements. Now the deflectors have installed in the SACLA, and contribute to commissioning.

The XFEL project at Spring-8 uses 64 pulse compressor units. In December 2009, we completed the fabrication and RF measurement of these units. A high-power rf test was conducted in the test stand at RIKEN. The peak output power from pulse compressor is 260 MW, and the acceleration gradient of the accelerating structure is achieved to be 40 MV/m.

C-band RF compressor is a device that generates high peak RF-power by saving, and compressing the RF-power output from the klystron. In SCSS: The Spring-8 Compact SASE Source, Q-factor of C-band RF compressor is lower than theoretical figure. To improve Q-factor of C-band RF compressor, we changed the production method of C-band RF compressor from Electron Beam Welding (EBW) to the brazing in XFEL: X-ray Free Electron Lasers. As a result, Q-factor of C-band RF compressor has been improved, and it succeeded in the work improvement.

We report the developed result about the detuned S-band structure for X-FEL project of RIKEN (SPring-8). The main linear accelerators are the C-band(5,712MHz) structures. The S-band structures are used at the part of injector. The accelerating electric beams are single-bunch, but this project assume multi-bunch for increase of the average power in the future. Therefore we newly developed the detuned S-band structure considering the effect of the wakefield.

Highly pure copper is deposited on components of DTL by the copper electroforming. Key techniques which improve productivity or quality of electroformed copper are introduced.

H. Ino et al.

We developed a pure copper lining process for RF cavities using a new copper electroforming, a periodic reverse copper electroforming (PR process ) with a low Cu-content acid copper sulfate bath which contains no organic additives. The PR process offers pure copper that contains impurities less than 35 ppm or so, and that has equivalent IACS（International Annealed Copper Standard）value to that of oxygen-free copper. The lining process can be applied to complex accelerator components such as hollow coils for quadruple magnet. We produced the trial model of DTL (drift tube linac) by using this new electroformed copper lining process and achieved high vacuum and excellent Q value.
