Summary :
A high intensity photon beam has various applications in advanced accelerators. Optical cavity is an unique system to realize such high intensity photon beam at a high repetition rate. Especially the laser-Compton scheme, which uses the high intensity photon produced in the optical cavity as a target of a high-energy electron beam to produce energetic photon, is a promising technique. At the ILC, it can be used for a polarized positron source, a photon collider system, beam size and polarization diagnostics. It also is the heart of the system in compact Compton light sources recently proposed in LAL and KEK.
The goal of this project is to further push the technical limits in the existing optical cavity system.

Summary :
Magnetic shielding is a key technology for super-conducting RF cavities.It is necessary to optimize the shielding method, including the choice of materials and the shape of the magnetic shield, and to establish a method for quality control suitable for large-scale production.We plan to continue to evaluate the permeability of various shielding materials, and also investigate possible causes for the performance degradation of the shielding material at cryogenic temperature. We would also like to study the dependence of cavity performance on the permeability
