FIG. 2.19: The GASK signal measured with (blue) and without (red) energy recovery.<br />

With the initial passage of the leading edge of the pulse, power is drawn for 4.3 µs which<br />

corresponds to the recirculation time (inset).<br />

2.8 Conclusions<br />

First and foremost, the CEBAF-ER experiment demonstrated the feasibility<br />

of energy recovering a 1 GeV electron beam through a 1.3 km transport system<br />

and through an extended superconducting environment of 312 cavities. In doing<br />

so, sufficient operational control of two coupled beams of different energies (up to<br />

a factor of 51 different) in a common transport channel in the presence of steering<br />

and focusing errors was also demonstrated.<br />

One of the important issues that the CEBAF-ER experiment addressed is that<br />

the beam quality could be preserved over a large dynamic range of energy. During<br />

the experiment, maximum-to-injector energy ratios (Emax/Einj) of 19:1 and 51:1<br />

were demonstrated by operating with two different injector energies. For the sake<br />

of comparison, note that in the IR FEL Demo this ratio was 5:1 and in the FEL<br />
