  Cornell University is planning to build an Energy-Recovery Linac (ERL) X-ray facility. In this ERL design, a 5 GeV superconducting linear accelerator extends the CESR ring. Currently CESR is used for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The very small electron-beam emittances would produce an x-ray source that is significantly better than any existing storage-ring light source. However, providing, preserving, and decelerating a beam with such small emittances has many issues. We describe our considerations for challenges such as optics, space charge, dark current, coupler kick, ion accumulation, electron cloud, intra beam scattering, gas scattering, radiation shielding, wake fields including the CSR wake, and beam stabilization.

  Problems created by the correlated energy spread that wake fields can produce are strongly enhanced in Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs), as compared to conventional linacs. This is due to the fact that in ERLs the spent beam is decelerated by a potentially large factor, which increases the relative energy spread proportionally. We show how severe this problem is for the impedance budget of the x-ray ERL that Cornell plans to build, and we analyze several different possibilities to compensate the correlated energy spread involving de-phasing linac components, linear and nonlinear time-of-flight terms in different accelerator sections, or high frequency accelerating cavities. Because of the particular design, which has a turn-around loop between two sections of the linac, there are many options for these techniques which we compare and evaluate.
