Main accelerator types ERL Basic idea: Bring the beam through the accelerating structures timed in a way so that the second-pass beam is decelerated, i.e. delivering its energy to the cavity fields. 1) Accelerate in 1st pass of RF cavity 2) The return loop is N plus ½ RF wavelengths. 3) Recovery energy in 2nd pass RF cavity RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
Energy recovery* linacs (ERLs) (with the same cavity energy recovery) Problems: a – colliding beams, b – focusing of two beams with different energies in the RF accelerator. *Energy Recovery - process by which the energy invested in accelerating particles is returned to the RF cavities by decelerating them, and re-used to accelerate others RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
First Energy Recovery demonstration Same-cell energy recovery was first demonstrated at Stanford University the SCA/FEL project in July 1986 Beam was injected at 5 MeV into a ~50 MeV linac (up to 95 MeV in 2 passes), 150 μA average current (12.5 pC per bunch at 11.8 MHz) All energy was recovered. FEL was not in place. • Now the world-record energy recovery demonstration current is 30 mA at the Novosibirsk BudkerINP NovoFEL (2003) RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
Power Multiplication Factor An advantage of energy recovered recirculation is nicely quantified by the notion of a power multiplication factor: where Prf is the RF power needed to accelerate the beam. By the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation!) k < 1 in any linac not recirculated. Beam recirculation with beam deceleration somewhere is necessary to achieve k > 1. If energy IS very efficiently recycled from the accelerating to the decelerating Examples CEBAF no recovery (matched load) k=0.99; (typical) k=0.8 JLAB IR DEMO k=16; JLAB 10 kW Upgrade k=33 RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
JLab demonstration: Energy Recovery Works With energy recovery the required linac RF power is ~ 16 kW, nearly independent of beam current. It rises to ~ 36 kW with no recovery at 1.1 mA. Gradient modulator drive signal in a linac cavity measured without energy recovery (signal level around 2 V) and with energy recovery (signal level around 0.) RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
Benefits of Energy Recovery • Required RF power becomes nearly independent of beam current. • Increases overall system efficiency. • Reduces electron beam power to be disposed of at beam dumps (by ratio of Efin/Einj). • More importantly, reduces induced radioactivity (simplify shielding) if beam is dumped below the neutron production threshold. • Promises efficiency near that of storage rings, while maintaining beam quality of linacs: superior emittance and energy spread, short bunches.

Operational high power ERLs RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
Some more uses of ERLs • Operational ERLs now are used for FEL application • The advantages of ERLs well beyond of that : • Average current-carrying capability of storage-ring. • Smaller beam emittance and energy spread. • Higher photon brilliance and coherence, round sources, and short-pulse-length radiation. 100-fsec pulse width domain. • Efficient way to use RF power Make the ERLs great machines for the future: • Light sources • High energy electron coolers of ions (previous talk) • Electron ion colliders (next talk) RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 3, 2009
