Abstract We have been developing a compact X-ray source based on the laser Compton scattering(LCS) at Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source(LUCX) accelerator in KEK. We have started to take X-ray images such as refraction contrast images and phase contrast imaging with Talbot interferometer. In this accelerator, 6-10keV X-rays are generated by LCS. An electron beam is produced by a 3.6cell RF-gun and accelerated to 18-24MeV by a 12cell accelerating tube. A laser pulse is stored in a 4-mirror planar optical cavity to enhance the power. To increase the flux of LCS X-rays, we perform an optimization of the beam-loading compensation, improvement of the intensity of an electron beam and a laser light at the collision point. We report the result of the X-ray generation in this accelerator.
