to maintaining adequate control over two co-propagating beams of different energy traveling through a common transport channel while preserving beam quality. An illustrative plot showing the current state of ERLs and trends towards the future is shown in Fig. 2.1. Each point on the plot marks the maximum energy and maximum average current for energy recovery. Only same-cell energy recovery in SRF cavities is considered. The black markers represent machines where energy recovery has already been demonstrated while the red markers represent proposed ERL based accelerators. Making the leap from the current state of the art to the next generation of ERLs will require roughly an order of magnitude increase in the energy and an order of magnitude in average beam current. To date, the CEBAF with energy recovery (CEBAF-ER) experiment has energy recovered the highest beam energy while the highest average beam current was energy recovered in the Jefferson Laboratory 10 kW FEL Upgrade Driver. 2.1.1 CEBAF Overview The CEBAF machine at Jefferson Laboratory is a five-pass recirculating linac based on SRF technology. The machine is a dedicated user facility for nuclear physics experiments and is capable of delivering cw beam to three experimental halls simultaneously [29]. Construction of CEBAF commenced in 1987 and by 1995 successful five-pass operation with a 4 GeV beam had been demonstrated. The two innovations which made CEBAF unique at the time were the choice of superconducting RF technol- ogy and the use of multipass beam recirculation. The motivation for using multiple beam recirculations was twofold. The first was to reduce the costs associated with implementing a long linac and the second was to reduce the real estate required. Recirculating the beam n times through a linac with an energy gain 1/n trades 21

CEBAF is in a racetrack configuration, comprised of two antiparallel linacs with 180 ◦ recirculation arcs connecting them. Because of the difference in energy, each recirculation pass needs to be handled by an independent beam transport system [29]. At the exit of each linac, a spreader region is used to separate the beam via differential vertical bending according to energy into several transport lines. At the end of the arc a recombiner section is used to merge the individual beams and match them for acceleration through the next linac. The arcs themselves consist of a total of nine transport lines (five in the east arc and four in west arc) making it possible for a total of five passes. The arcs were designed to image the beam phase space 22
