accelerating gradient at the front and back end of the linac. If the gradients are too<br />

high, the low energy beam is over focused and the transverse motion can become<br />

unstable [49].<br />

Due to loaded Qs of dipole HOMs of order 10 6 in zone 3, beam breakup develops<br />

below the 10 mA design beam current. The threshold current of stability depends<br />

largely on the machine optics and a threshold as low as 400 µA has been observed.<br />

Conversely, using optics designed to suppress BBU, average currents of 9 mA have<br />

been achieved with no indication of beam breakup.<br />

3.4 Recirculator<br />

The recirculator refers to the transport line starting immediately downstream of<br />

the linac and extending to the reinjection chicane. The recirculator must condition<br />

the beam phase space appropriately for the FEL and for energy recovery. With<br />

regard to the longitudinal phase space, the former requires a short bunch while the<br />

latter requires proper management of the large momentum spread.<br />

Following zone 4, a six quadrupole telescope is used to match the transverse<br />

beam envelopes to the first recirculation arc. The telescope uses six quadrupoles so<br />

in addition to the four parameters required for betatron matching, (βx, αx, βy, αy),<br />

the betatron phase advances can be adjusted as well.<br />

3.4.1 Recirculation Endloops<br />

Each of the two recirculation loops are based on the Bates-style endloop [52].<br />

In addition to providing low loss transmission of the beam, the endloops aid in<br />

the required longitudinal phase space matching. Each endloop is comprised of two<br />

pairs of dipoles installed symmetrically around a 180 ◦ dipole magnet as illustrated<br />

in Fig. 3.4. The dipoles bend the beam by θ −θ 180 ◦ −θ θ, where θ 43 ◦ , and the<br />
