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.

In this paper we analyze particle loss rates in Cornell's x-ray Energy Recovery Linac. Because of the small beam emittances and high beam intensity, intra-beam scattering (IBS) can be a source of significant particles loss in the horizontal plane. It will result in radiation doses which should be carefully examined for adequate radiation protection. Additionally, scattering on the residual gas (RGS) causes particle losses in the vertical plane. With Mote-Carlo type simulations of the scattering processes and transport matrixes for particle-trajectory propagation we found the beam loss distribution along ERL. It indicated that 99% of the total beam loss will be due to IBS. However, the RGS contribution can not be ignored because it dominates scattering in the vertical plane causing IDs irradiation and damage. For both (IBS and RGS) processes the highest beam losses will occur at the end of deacceleration due to adiabatic anti-damping causing traverse betatron amplitudes to increase. These beamlosses can be consentrated in collimation sections. Knowing RGS beam loss rates at the ID locations, we estimate the ID’s life time and suggest a radiation protection scheme.

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.

The theories of beam loss and emittance growth by Touschek and Intra Beam Scattering have been formulated for beams in storage rings. It is there that these effects have hitherto been important because of their large currents. However, there are linear accelerators where these effects become important when considering loss rates and radiation damage. Prime examples are high current Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs), managing these scattering effects can become challenging, and not only because of the large current, but also because the deceleration of the spent beam increases relative energy spread and transverse oscillation amplitudes. In this paper we describe two ways of simulating particle loss by these scattering affects, both implemented in BMAD. One that yields the places where scattering occurs, and another that yields loss rates along the chamber walls. BMAD includes nonlinear beam dynamics, wake effects, and more, which allows a rather complete propagation of scattered particle. For the example of the ERL x-ray facility that Cornell plans to build, we demonstrate that these capabilities are very important for designing a functional radiation protection system.

Short bunches radiate coherently at wavelengths that are longer than their bunch length. This radiation can catch up with the bunch in bends and the electromagnetic fields can become large enough to significantly damage longitudinal and transverse bunch properties. This is relevant for many accelerators that relies on bunch compression. It is also important for Energy Recovery Linacs, where spent beams are decelerated by a potentially large factor. Because this deceleration increases the relative energy spread, all sources of wake fields, especially Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR), become much more important. In this paper we show how the beam dynamics code BMAD computes the effect of CSR and how the shielding effect of vacuum chambers is included by the method of image charges. We compare the results to established codes: to Elegant for cases without shielding and to a numerical solution of simplified Maxwell equations as well as to analytical csr-wake formulas. Good agreement is generally found, and in cases where numerical solutions of the simplified Maxwell equations do not agree with the csr-wake formulas, we show that BMAD agrees with these analytic formulas.
