A polarized SRF photocathode gun is being considered as a high-brightness electron injector for the International Linear Collider (ILC). The conceptual engineering analysis and design of this injector, which is required to deliver a large emittance ratio, is presented. The delivered beam parameters we predict are compared to the required performance after the ILC damping ring. The analysis indicates that it may be possible to save cost by eliminating the damping ring though higher values of the emittance ratio are still to be demonstrated.

The 703MHz superconducting gun will have 2 fundamental power couplers (FPCs). Each FPC will deliver up to 500kW of RF power. In order to prepare the couplers for high power RF service and process multipacting, the FPCs should be conditioned before they are installed in the gun. A conditioning cart based test stand, which includes a vacuum pumping system, controllable bake-out system, diagnostics, interlocks and data log system has been designed, constructed and commissioned by collaboration of BNL and AES. This paper presents FPC conditioning cart systems and summarizes the conditioning process and results.

An innovative feature of the proposed Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is the use of a solenoid made with High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) with the Superconducting RF cavity. The use of HTS in the solenoid offers many advantages. The solenoid is located in the transition region (4 K to room temperature) where the temperature is too high for a conventional low temperature superconductor and the heat load on the cryogenic system too high for copper coils. Proximity to the cavity provides early focusing and thus a reduction in the emittance of the electron beam. In addition, taking full advantage of the high critical temperature of HTS, the solenoid has been designed to reach the required field at ~77 K, which can be obtained with liquid nitrogen. This significantly reduces the cost of testing and allows a variety of critical pre‐tests (e.g. measurements of the axial and fringe fields) which would have been very expensive at 4 K in liquid helium because of the additional requirements for a cryostat and associated facilities. This paper will present the design, construction, test results and current status of this HTS solenoid.

  The Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory is being developed as research and development towards eRHIC, an Electron-Heavy Ion Collider. The experimental 5-cell 703.75 MHz (ECX) cavity was recently evaluated at continuous field levels greater than 10 MV/m. These tests indicated stored energy limits of the cavity on the order of 75 joules. During design of the cavity the cold flange on one side was moved closer to the cavity to allow the cavity to fit into the available chemical processing chamber at Jefferson Laboratory. RF and thermal analysis of the AlMg3 seal region of the closer side indicate this to be the prime candidate limiting the fields. This work presents the analysis results and compares these results to test data.

  We describe the status of two accelerators that Advanced Energy Systems has recently designed and built, and is presently commissioning. One system will drive the THz FEL at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, while the other will produce radiation for Homeland Security applications. A key aspect of the required FEL accelerator performance is low longitudinal emittance < 50 keV-psec at 200 pC bunch charge from a thermionic electron source. The other system is compact, robust and efficient since it must be transportable.
