FIG. 3.3: A single 7-cell cavity with a coaxial higher-order mode coupler (left) and a<br />

waveguide fundamental power coupler (right).<br />

Operationally, the beam is accelerated 10 ◦ off-crest (off-trough) through the<br />

linac for acceleration (energy recovery) to generate a phase-energy correlation re-<br />

quired for longitudinal phase space matching. Among the unwanted effects of the<br />

beam and SRF cavity interactions are FPC-driven steering, RF focusing and insuf-<br />

ficiently damped HOMs which lead to beam breakup.<br />

The HOM coupler induced skew quadrupole driven coupling poses a problem<br />

as discussed in Section 2.2.3. The adverse effects are corrected on the first pass by<br />

skew quadrupole trims at the exit of zones 2 and 4. Zone 3 utilizes coaxial HOM<br />

couplers which do not produce a coupling kick. The 7-cell cavity design with HOM<br />

and FPC couplers is shown in Fig. 3.3. Because the induced coupling is due to an<br />

RF field and the off-trough deceleration is 180 ◦ out of phase with the quadrupole<br />

trims, the energy recovery pass suffers from twice the skew quadrupole kick. This,<br />

however, has not proved to be an operational impediment in the relatively short<br />

linacs in the ERLs to date.<br />

The RF focusing of the low energy beams in the first and last cryomodules,<br />

of the injected and energy recovered beam, respectively, places a constraint on the<br />
