  • 2. Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Inst. (JASRI/SPring-8), Sayo, Hyogo (Japan)

Description

On 20 June 2006, the SASE amplification has been observed at 49 nm is SCSS test accelerator, which is prototype for the Japanese XFEL. A challenging approach: CeB6 single crystal thermionic cathode generates low emittance DC beam from 500 kV gun, followed by velocity bunch compression by factor of a few 100 times, and magnetic chicane bunch compression, measured emittance was 3 π.mm.mrad normalized, made SASE amplification. The XFEL project, aiming at generating 1 A coherent intense X-ray laser, 8 GeV normal-conducting accelerator, has been funded. The construction is scheduled 2006-2010. (author)
