Experiments on the study of fundamental quark-gluon structure of nucleons require an electron-light ion collider of a center of mass energy from 20 to 65 GeV at luminosity level of 1035 cm-2s-1 with both beams polarized. A CEBAF accelerator based ring-ring collider of 7 GeV electrons/positrons and 150 GeV light ions is envisioned as a possible next step after the 12 GeV CEBAF Upgrade. The developed ring-ring scheme takes advantage of the existing polarized continuous electron beam and SRF linac, the green-field design of the collider rings and the ion accelerator complex with electron cooling. We report results of our design studies of the ring-ring version of an electron-light ion collider of the required luminosity.

We have developed a digital process that emulates an analog oscillator and ultimately a self excited loop (SEL) for field control. The SEL, in its analog form, has been used for many years for accelerating cavity field control. In essence the SEL uses the cavity as a resonant circuit – much like a resonant ?tank? circuit is used to build an oscillator. An oscillating resonant circuit can be forced to oscillate at different, but close, frequencies to resonance by applying a phase shift in the feedback path. This allows the circuit to be phased locked to a master reference, which is crucial for multiple cavity accelerators. For phase and amplitude control the SEL must be forced to the master reference frequency, and feedback provided for in both dimensions. The novelty of this design is in the way digital signal processing (DSP) is structured to emulate an analog system. While the digital signal processing elements are not new, to our knowledge this is the first time that the digital SEL concept has been designed and demonstrated. This paper reports on the progress of the design and implementation of the digital SEL for field control of superconducting accelerating cavities.

In this paper we present status and plans for the 20-MeV R&D energy recovery linac, which is under construction at Collider Accelerator Department at BNL. The facility is based on high current (up to 0.5 A of average current) super-conducting 2.5 MeV RF gun, single-mode super-conducting 5-cell RF linac and about 20-m long return loop with very flexible lattice. The R&D ERL, which is planned for commissioning in 2008, aims to address many outstanding questions relevant for high current, high brightness energy-recovery linacs.

For accelerator projects with ultra short electron beam, beam dynamics study has to invoke the short-range wakefield. In this paper, we first obtain the short-range dipole mode resistive wall wakefield. Analytical approach is then developed to study the single bunch transverse beam dynamics due to this short-range resistive wall wake. The results are applied to the LCLS undulator and some other proposed accelerators.

In this paper, we study the single bunch transverse beam dynamics in the presence of random displacements of resistive wall segments and focusing elements. Analytical formulas are obtained for long-range resistive wall wake, together with numerical results for short-range resistive wall wake. Tolerances on this random displacement are studied regarding to emittance growth and phase slippage in an undulator. The results are applied to the LCLS project and some other proposed accelerators.
