emittances are related simply by<br />

ɛN = βγɛg<br />

where β = v/c and γ = 1/ 1 − β 2 is the Lorentz factor. In an ideal machine the<br />

normalized emittance would remain constant from the source through the entire<br />

transport. In reality non-linear magnetic fields and wakefields, among other things,<br />

act to degrade the emittance.<br />

Emittance measurements were made for three different beam regimes; the beam<br />

in the injector, the first pass accelerating beam in each of the arcs and the beam<br />

after energy recovery. Measuring the emittance of the energy recovered beam proved<br />

to be most challenging as it had to be performed in the presence of the accelerating<br />

beam. The following section describes the details of this measurement.<br />

2.4.1 Emittance Measurement Using a Quadrupole Scan<br />

One of the most common beam line configurations used to make emittance<br />

measurements consists of a quadrupole followed by a drift of length L to a beam<br />

profile monitor. The premise of the quadrupole scan emittance measurement is to<br />

determine the horizontal (or vertical) beam size with the profile monitor as function<br />

of the strength of the upstream quadrupole. Performing the measurement for three<br />

different quadrupole strengths is sufficient to calculate the horizontal (or vertical)<br />

emittance.<br />

Denote the betatron functions just prior to entrance of the quadrupole as β1<br />

and α1 and those at the downstream observation point by β2 and α2. For a non-<br />

dispersive region the beam size squared is<br />

σ 2 2 = β2ɛg<br />
