Beam generation and acceleration experiments of X-band linac and monochromatic keV X-ray sorce of the University of Tokyo

In the Nuclear Professional School, the University of Tokyo (UTNS), we are constructing an X-band linear accelerator that consists of an X-band thermionic cathode RF gun and X-band accelerating structure. This system is considered for a compact inverse Compton scattering monochromatic X-ray source for the medical application. The injector of this system consists of the 3.5-cell coaxial RF feed coupler type X-band thermionic cathode RF gun and an alpha-magnet. The X-band accelerating structure is round detuned structure (RDS) type that developed for the future linear collider are fully adopted. So far, we have constructed the whole RF system and beam line for the X- band linac and achieved 2 MeV electron beam generation from the X-band thermionic cathode RF gun. In addition, we achieved 40 MW RF feeding to the accelerating structure. The laser system for the X-ray generation via Compton scattering was also constructed and evaluated its properties. In this paper, we will present the details of our system and progress of beam acceleration experiment and the performance of the laser system for the Compton scattering experiment.
