The superconducting Darmstadt linear accelarator S-DALINAC is designed for accelerating electrons up to energies of 130 MeV for measurements in nuclear physics at small momentum transfers. For the purpose of machine protection and in order to increase reliability and efficiency an efficient tool for on-line measurements of beam losses down to electron energies of 1 MeV is desirable. Therefore a system of beam-loss monitors has been developed, installed, and tested. The system consists of commercially availiable PIN-diods and newly developed electronics. Implementation in the S-DALINAC's control system is done via EPICS IOC. We will report on the setup of the beam-loss monitoring system and on its initial performance in first tests.

The S-DALINAC is a superconducting recirculating electron accelerator with maximum design energy of 130 MeV operating in cw at 3 GHz. Even so the gradients of the superconducting cavities are well above design, their design quality factor of 3*109 have not been reached so far. Due to the limited cooling power of the cryo-plant being 120 W, the final energy achievable in cw operation is around 85 MeV, currently. In order to provide a cw beam with the designed final energy in the future, the installation of an additional recirculation path is projected and to be finished by 2013. We review the design constraints related to the existing beam lines, report in detail on the magnet design (being the key issue) and the lattice calculations for the additional recirculation path.
