In recirculating accelerators, and in particular energy recovery linacs (ERLs), the maximum current has been limited by multipass, multibunch beam breakup (BBU), which occurs when the electron beam interacts with the higher-order modes (HOMs) of an accelerating cavity on the accelerating pass and again on the energy recovered pass. This effect is of particular concern in the design of modern high average current energy recovery accelerators utilizing superconducting technology. Experimental observations of the instability at the Jefferson Laboratory 10 kW Free-Electron Laser (FEL) are presented. Measurements of the threshold current for the instability are presented and compared to the predictions of several BBU simulation codes. To further characterize the instability, beam based measurements were made to determine the orientation of the dangerous HOMs. With BBU posing a threat to high current beam operation in the FEL, several suppression schemes were developed. These include direct damping of the dangerous HOMs and appropriately modifying the electron beam optics. Preliminary results of their effectiveness in raising the threshold current for stability are presented. |

Funding: Work supported by DOE Contract DE-AC05-84ER40150. We report on the progress of the conceptual development of the energy recovering linac (ERL)-based Electron-Light Ion Collider (ELIC) at CEBAF that is envisioned to reach luminosity level of 1033-1035 /cm2s with both beams polarized to perform a new class of experiments in fundamental nuclear physics. Four interaction points with all light ion species longitudinally or transversally polarized and fast flipping of the spin for all beams are planned. The unusually high luminosity concept is based on the use of the ERL and circulator ring-based electron cooling and crab crossing colliding beams. Our recent studies concentrate on the design of low beta interaction points with crab-crossing colliding beams, the exploration on raising the polarized electron injector current to the level of 3-30 mA with the use of electron circulator-collider ring, forming a concept of stacking and cooling of the ion beams, specifications of the electron cooling facility, and studies of beam-beam interaction and intra-beam scattering. |

Funding: Work supported by DOE Contract DE-AC05-84ER40150. Beam physics aspects of the 12 GeV Upgrade of CEBAF are presented. The CEBAF Upgrade to 12 GeV is achieved via 5.5 recirculations through the linacs, and the installation of 10 new high-gradient cryomodules. A new experimental hall, Hall D, is envisioned at the end of North Linac. Simulation results for straight-through and recirculated injectors are summarized and compared. Beam transport designs are discussed and evaluated with respect to matching and beam breakup (BBU) optimization. Effects of synchrotron radiation excitation on the beam properties are calculated. BBU simulations and derived specifications for the damping of higher order modes of the new 7-cell cavities are presented. The energies that provide longitudinal polarization in multiple experimental halls simultaneously are calculated. Finally, a detailed optics design for the Hall D transport line has been obtained. |

| TPPP044 | Interaction Region Design for the Electron-Light Ion Collider ELIC | 2824 |
|

Funding: Work performed under the auspices of the US Department of Energy. The Electron-Light Ion Collider ELIC proposed by Jefferson Lab aims at very high luminosities for collisions of 150 GeV protons on 7 GeV electrons. To achieve these high luminosities, very strong low-beta focusing of low-emittance beams is required. Taking advantage of the unequal design proton beam emittances in the two transverse planes, an interaction region design based on superconducting quadrupole doublets has been deveoped. Compared with the original design, this scheme provides larger beam apertures at lower magnetic fields, while potentially doubling the luminosity. |

We report progress on the R&D program for electron-cooling of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). This electron cooler is designed to cool 100 GeV/nucleon at storage energy using 54 MeV electrons. The electron source will be a superconducting RF photocathode gun. The accelerator will be a superconducting energy recovery linac. The frequency of the accelerator is set at 703.75 MHz. The maximum electron bunch frequency is 9.38 MHz, with bunch charge of 20 nC. The R&D program has the following components: The photoinjector and its photocathode, the superconducting linac cavity, start-to-end beam dynamics with magnetized electrons, electron cooling calculations including benchmarking experiments and development of a large superconducting solenoid. The photoinjector and linac cavity are being incorporated into an energy recovery linac aimed at demonstrating ampere class current at about 20 MeV. A Zeroth Order Design Report is in an advanced draft state, and can be found on the web at http://www.agsrhichome.bnl.gov/eCool/.
