AbstractAbstract
[en] PNC is developing high power CW electron linac for various applications, those are the transmutation of the fission products, Free Electron Laser (FEL), the positron source and so on. Especially, the transmutation by the electron linac has been studied for several years. As the results, high flux and high energy γ-ray (∼15 MeV) is required, one of the big problems is that plenty of transmutation energy is needed and the narrow γ-ray energy spectrum can reduce the transmutation energy. The γ-rays can be produced by synchrotron radiation, FEL and laser compton scattering. Those methods were described briefly and compared. As a result, the laser compton scattering is one of the good methods to produce high energy γ-ray. However the cross section between electron and photon is small and the scattered photon energy spectrum is not so narrow that the transmutation energy is reduced drastically. To enhance the interaction between electron and photon, the super cavity is proposed. And some experiments are in progress. To reduce the transmutation energy, scattered electron must be reused by the storage ring. If the scattered electrons are not used for producing γ-ray, the efficiency is less than 1%. In our system, the efficiency can be increased to 20% by reusing scattered electrons. But this efficiency is still low. To increase the efficiency, the RF bucket must be enlarged. If the momentans compaction factor α can be reduced, the RF bucket can be enlarged. And the storage ring must be designed to have small value of the α. The electron energy dependency of efficiency is investigated, too. In short word, it is difficult to increase the efficiency drastically by changing electron energy. This work was conducted as a part of the collaboration work between PNC and BNL. (author)
