The transverse beam breakup (BBU) is one of the dominant factors in ERL for the available beam current. A tracking code built in Matlab is developed and benchmarked by comparing with the analytical solutions with the simple model. Study on the threshold current and emittance growth due to the transverse BBU for PEP-X ERL are presented in this paper.

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, leading to higher heat transfer into the liquid helium than expected. 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. We will report on the beam-line and the magnet design for the new recirculation path. In addition, we will present the layout of two proposed scraper-systems which will be used to remove the halo of the electron beam allowing high precision coincidence experiments with very low background for nuclear physics in the future.

The Superconducting Linear Accelerator S-DALINAC installed at the institute of nuclear physics (IKP) at TU Darmstadt is designed as a re-circulating linear accelerator. The length of the beam line and the numerous accelerating structures as well as dipole and quadrupole magnets require a highly efficient numerical simulation tool in order to assist the operators by providing a detailed and almost instantaneous insight into the actual machine status. A suitable approach which enables a fast online calculation of the beam dynamics is given by the so-called moment approach where the particle distribution is represented by means of a discrete set of moments or by multiple discrete sets of moments in a multi-ensemble environment. Following this approach the V-Code simulation tool has been implemented at the Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory (TEMF) at TU Darmstadt. In this contribution an overview of the numerical model is presented together with new V-Code simulation results regarding the S-DALINAC recirculation sections.
