ting the data is difficult. Without the ability to extract beam sizes in real time, this was only revealed after the fact. As with the previous measurement, fitting the complete data set results in an unphysical emittance. Since a unique beam size is expected for each value of the quadrupole strength, points were omitted that violated this condition. The result is a physically acceptable emittance. Horizontal Emittance: Einj = 20 MeV This data set represents an ideal measurement - a large number of data points with the beta function sweeping through a minimum. The two points that were omitted were outliers. Vertical Emittance: Einj = 20 MeV This measurement shows once again that the quadrupole strength was not suf- ficiently scanned and the fitting must be applied to half of a parabola. The points omitted were done so for obvious reasons; the rightmost point was omitted due to an excessively noisy wire scan (note the large error bar), while the other omitted point is an outlier. When scanning the quadrupole, not only is the energy recovered beam affected, but perhaps more importantly, so is the accelerated or first pass beam. The impor- tance results from the implicit assumption that the Twiss parameters at the entrance of the scanning quadrupole remain the same. In order to meet that requirement, a family of quadrupoles (downstream of the reinjection chicane) was used to produce compensating optics to counter the effects produced by the scanning quadrupole. Prior to the CEBAF-ER experiment, the emittance measurements were simu- lated in Optim [41], including producing appropriate compensatory optics. During the CEBAF-ER experiment however, the machine optics used for the Einj = 20 MeV configuration were not those used in the simulations. Hence, compensating op- 46
