3. Missions of the Prototype (1/2) SPring-8 Compact SASE Source (SCSS) adopts three unique systems; a low emittance injector with 500 kv pulsed electron gun, C-band accelerator, and invacuum undulator. The prototype is a test-bench to confirm the performance of each system. 9
3. Missions of the Prototype (2/2) The biggest question is whether "emittance conservation" through the injector is a sufficient level or not under the practical error condition. Only the experimental results can answer the above and verify the validity of the injector system. 10
