linac and θNL is the RF phase. The energy of the beam in arc 2 is<br />

EA2 = Einj + ENL cos θNL + ESL cos θSL<br />

(2.3)<br />

where ESL and θSL are the energy gain and RF phase in the south linac, respectively.<br />

The energy of the second pass beam through arc 1 is<br />

E (2)<br />

A1 = Einj + ENL cos θNL + ESL cos θSL + ENL cos(θNL + δ) (2.4)<br />

where δ is the change in RF phase due to the effect of passing through the phase<br />

delay chicane. For perfect energy recovery, the energy gained on the first pass<br />

exactly cancels the energy lost by the second pass beam through the north linac.<br />

The energy in arc 1 is then<br />

E (2)<br />

A1 = Einj + ESL cos θSL<br />

(2.5)<br />

Equation (2.5) says that for perfect energy recovery, δ = π, the energy of the second<br />

pass beam in arc 1 is independent of θNL. Through an iterative process of adjusting<br />

the field strength of the phase delay chicane dipole string (to vary the path length)<br />

and then varying the RF phase in the north linac, the condition of Eq. (2.5) could<br />

be satisfied.<br />

The strategy for threading the beam through the machine was to use minimal<br />

steering on the first pass. In that way local corrections could be used to alleviate<br />

any harmful RF effects incurred on the second pass. At low energy, and particularly<br />

on the second pass, transverse coupling was present. The source of this coupling<br />

is the presence of the skew quadrupole fields in the waveguide HOM coupler. This<br />

coupling was observed, for example, by inserting a beam viewer and watching the<br />

beam spot move diagonally across the screen when steering with a horizontal (or
