ting the data is difficult. Without the ability to extract beam sizes in real time,<br />

this was only revealed after the fact. As with the previous measurement, fitting<br />

the complete data set results in an unphysical emittance. Since a unique beam<br />

size is expected for each value of the quadrupole strength, points were omitted that<br />

violated this condition. The result is a physically acceptable emittance.<br />

Horizontal Emittance: Einj = 20 MeV<br />

This data set represents an ideal measurement - a large number of data points<br />

with the beta function sweeping through a minimum. The two points that were<br />

omitted were outliers.<br />

Vertical Emittance: Einj = 20 MeV<br />

This measurement shows once again that the quadrupole strength was not suf-<br />

ficiently scanned and the fitting must be applied to half of a parabola. The points<br />

omitted were done so for obvious reasons; the rightmost point was omitted due to<br />

an excessively noisy wire scan (note the large error bar), while the other omitted<br />

point is an outlier.<br />

When scanning the quadrupole, not only is the energy recovered beam affected,<br />

but perhaps more importantly, so is the accelerated or first pass beam. The impor-<br />

tance results from the implicit assumption that the Twiss parameters at the entrance<br />

of the scanning quadrupole remain the same. In order to meet that requirement, a<br />

family of quadrupoles (downstream of the reinjection chicane) was used to produce<br />

compensating optics to counter the effects produced by the scanning quadrupole.<br />

Prior to the CEBAF-ER experiment, the emittance measurements were simu-<br />

lated in Optim [41], including producing appropriate compensatory optics. During<br />

the CEBAF-ER experiment however, the machine optics used for the Einj = 20 MeV<br />

configuration were not those used in the simulations. Hence, compensating op-<br />
