MOYCH02	Physics Challenges for ERL Light Sources	linac, electron, emittance, synchrotron	16
	L. Merminga Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia
	We present an overview of the physics challenges encountered in the design and operation of Energy Recovering Linac (ERL) based light sources. These challenges include the generation and preservation of low emittance, high-average current beams, manipulating and preserving the transverse and longitudinal phase space, control of the multipass beam breakup instability, efficient extraction of higher order mode power and RF control and stability of the superconducting cavities. These key R&D issues drive the design and technology choices for proposed ERL light sources. Simulations and calculations of these processes will be presented and compared with experimental data obtained at the Jefferson Lab FEL Upgrade, a 10 mA ERL light source presently in commissioning, and during a 1 GeV demonstration of energy recovery at CEBAF.

MOPKF043	An Ultra-high Brightness, High Duty Factor, Superconducting RF Photoinjector	emittance, gun, electron, simulation	402
	M. Ferrario INFN/LNF, Frascati (Roma) J. Rosenzweig UCLA, Los Angeles, California J. Sekutowicz DESY, Hamburg
	Recent advances in superconducting rf technology, and an improved understanding of rf photoinjector design optimization make if possible to propose a specific design for a superconducting rf gun which can simultaneously produce both ultra-high peak brightness, and high average current. Such a device may prove to be a critical component of next generation x-ray sources such as self-amplified spontaneous emission free-electron lasers (SASE FEL) and energy recovery linac (ERL) based systems. The design presented is scaled from the present state-of-the-art normal conducting rf photoinjector that has been studied in the context of the LCLS SASE FEL. Issues specific to the superconducing rf photoinjector, such as accelerating gradient limit, rf cavity design, and compatibility with magnetic focusing and laser excitation of a photocathode, are discussed.
MOPKF063	4GLS and the Prototype Energy Recovery Linac Project at Daresbury	linac, gun, electron, booster	455
	M.W. Poole, E.A. Seddon CCLRC/DL/ASTeC, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire
	The 4GLS project is a novel next generation solution for a UK national light source proposed to be sited at Daresbury. It is based on an energy recovery linac (ERL) operating at high average beam currents up to 100mA and with compression schemes producing pulses in the 10-100 fs range. This would provide a unique spontaneous emission source with high average brightness output both from undulators and bending magnets. In addition to this operating regime a high peak current mode would also be possible at lower duty cycle, enabling a high gain FEL amplifier to generate XUV radiation. Longer wavelength FELs are also planned. This challenging accelerator technology, new to Europe, necessitates a significant R&D programme and as a major part of this a low energy prototype, the ERLP, is being constructed at Daresbury. The paper summarises the ERLP design specification, describes the component solutions adopted and explains the 4GLS project status and plans.
TUYBCH02	Technological Challenges for High Brightness Photo-injectors	laser, electron, gun, vacuum	64
	G. Suberlucq CERN, Geneva
	Many applications, from linear colliders to free-electron lasers, passing through light sources and many other electron sources, require high brightness electron beams, usually produced by photo-injectors. Because certain parameters of these applications differ by several orders of magnitude, various solutions were implemented for the design and construction of the three main parts of the photo-injectors: lasers, photocathodes and guns. This paper summarizes the different requirements, how they lead to technological challenges and how R&D programs try to overcome these challenges. Some examples of state-of-the-art parts are presented.

THPKF068	An Advanced Light Source Proposed for the South Eastern USA	lattice, dipole, emittance, quadrupole	2421
	V.P. Suller, M.G. Fedurin, J. Hormes LSU/CAMD, Baton Rouge, Louisiana D. Einfeld CELLS, Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vallès) G. Vignola SESAME, Amman
	At this time CAMD, a 1.3 GeV second generation storage ring, is the only synchrotron radiation facility in the Southeastern USA. To cater for the increasing demand for synchrotron light in this region a study is being made for a new high performance source. In keeping with its role as a regional source, it must be economical to construct and operate yet provide high brightness beams from its Insertion Devices. These will need to span both the soft X-ray region (1-2 keV) and the X-ray region up to at least 13 keV. A high brightness 3rd generation source is described which exhibits a beam emittance less than 10 nm rads at an energy of 2.5 GeV. By using a lattice cell derived from the Theoretical Minimum Emittance type, this performance is achieved in a circumference of only approximately 160 m. The economical, yet flexible, lattice uses vertically focusing gradient in the dipoles. The lattice functions and other parameters are presented of both a 12 cell double bend design and a 10 cell triple bend. The 12 cell gives a horizontal emittance of 8.5 nm rads and the 10 cell 4.6 nm rads. The dynamical stability of both lattices is described together with the beam performance from the anticipated insertion devices. The current status of the proposal is explained.
THPKF076	Plan to Upgrade the Advanced Light Source to Top-off Injection Operation	injection, septum, radiation, emittance	2442

	The brightness and thermal stability of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) is lifetime limited. Brightness improvements such as narrower gap insertion devices, smaller emittance coupling, and higher currents all result in short lifetimes. In addition current changes over a fill impact the thermal stability of both the storage ring and beamlines. In order to mitigate these limitations there is a plan to upgrade the injector of the ALS to full energy injection and to operate in a quasi-continuous filling (Top-Off) injection operation. With Top-Off, the ALS will increase its time-averaged current by two, reduce the vertical emmittance, and operate with smaller gap insertion devices. In this paper we describe our upgrade plan.

	The National Synchrotron Light Source at BNL was the first dedicated light source facility and has now operated for more than 20 years. During this time, the user community has grown to more than 2400 users annually. To insure that this vibrant user community has access to the highest quality photon beams, the NSLS is pursuing the design of a new ultrahigh brightness (~ 1E21) electron storage ring, tailored to the 0.3-20 keV photon energy range. We present our preliminary design and review the critical accelerator physics design issues.
THPLT048	Progress in 3D Space-charge Calculations in the GPT Code	space-charge, acceleration, electron, emittance	2592

	The mesh-based 3D space-charge routine in the GPT (General Particle Tracer, Pulsar Physics) code scales linearly with the number of particles in terms of CPU time and allows a million particles to be tracked on a normal PC. The crucial ingredient of the routine is a non-equidistant multi-grid Poisson solver to calculate the electrostatic potential in the rest frame of the bunch. The solver has been optimized for very high and very low aspect ratio bunches present in state-of-the-art high-brightness electron accelerators. In this paper, we explore the efficiency and accuracy of the calculations as function of meshing strategy and boundary conditions.
