(low energy) beam.<br />

3.3 Linear Accelerator<br />

From the injector, the electron beam is accelerated from 7 MeV to 145 MeV<br />

by three cryomodules, each containing eight superconducting niobium cavities. The<br />

first cryomodule seen by the beam is denoted zone 2, the second zone 3 and the<br />

last zone 4. The RF cavities in zones 2 and 4 are the nominal 5-cell CEBAF cavity<br />

design, whereas the middle cryomodule, zone 3, contains a new high-gradient 7-<br />

cell cavity design. Quadrupole triplets are placed in the warm sections between<br />

cryomodules to allow for beam envelope control. Following zone 4 a dipole chicane<br />

separates and sends the energy recovered beam (7 MeV) to the beam dump, while<br />

the first pass beam begins traversing the recirculator.<br />
