FIG. 2.1: Energy versus average current for machines which have demonstrated energy<br />

recovery (black) and for proposed machines (red).<br />

expensive SRF accelerating structures for less expensive magnets required for recir-<br />

culation.<br />

CEBAF is in a racetrack configuration, comprised of two antiparallel linacs with<br />

180 ◦ recirculation arcs connecting them. Because of the difference in energy, each<br />

recirculation pass needs to be handled by an independent beam transport system<br />

[29]. At the exit of each linac, a spreader region is used to separate the beam via<br />

differential vertical bending according to energy into several transport lines. At the<br />

end of the arc a recombiner section is used to merge the individual beams and match<br />

them for acceleration through the next linac. The arcs themselves consist of a total<br />

of nine transport lines (five in the east arc and four in west arc) making it possible<br />

for a total of five passes. The arcs were designed to image the beam phase space<br />
