Present Status of the Compact ERL Commissioning

Abstract

Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) project is ongoing at KEK in order to demonstrate the ERL performance which satisfies various advanced requirements of future light sources. The cERL injector with its diagnostic beamline was constructed and its initial commissioning was successfully done at June 2013. The cERL recirculation loop with a main superconducting linac, merger and dump sections was then constructed. The commissioning with the loop has been started from December 2013. In the commissioning, a significant progress has so far been made. In this paper, we will report the status of the cERL commissioning including the construction work.
