dipoles and beam diagnostics such as OTR viewers and BPMs.<br />

The linac optics were configured such that the lowest energy beam in each linac<br />

(the accelerating pass in the north linac and decelerating pass in the south linac)<br />

maintain the 120 ◦ betatron phase advance per cell that is used for the first pass in<br />

standard CEBAF operation. As a consequence, the higher energy beams through<br />

each linac will be mismatched. Because only one beam is present in arc 2, the<br />

quadrupoles in the spreader and recombiner region are free knobs that can be used<br />

to compensate mismatches introduced by optimizing the linac optics for the lower<br />

energy beam. In addition to the spreader and recombiner, quadrupoles in the south<br />

linac which are downstream of the beam dump can also be used to match the beam.<br />

The optics for arc 1, which transports both the first and second pass beams, uses<br />

standard CEBAF optics and does not require modification since both beams are<br />

assumed to be of the same energy. A description of how this energy balance was<br />

achieved is given in Section 2.2.4.<br />

The beta functions for each pass through the north and south linacs after op-<br />

timization are displayed in Fig. 2.6 and Fig. 2.7.<br />

2.2.3 SRF Induced Effects<br />

One of the primary concerns in preparing for CEBAF-ER was the antici-<br />

pated harmful RF cavity induced effects on the beam. Whereas the CEBAF Front<br />

End Test demonstrated energy recovery through 2 cryomodules (sixteen CEBAF<br />

5-cell SRF cavities), the CEBAF-ER experiment required energy recovering a beam<br />

through 39 cryomodules. Consequently, any adverse effects induced by the RF sys-<br />

tem on the beam become more pronounced.<br />

It is known that the waveguide higher-order mode coupler on each cavity intro-<br />

duces a phase-dependent skew quadrupole component which couples the horizontal<br />
