The proposed 4th Generation Light Source (4GLS) facility, anticipated to be located at Daresbury Laboratory in the UK, will extensively utilise Superconducting RF (SRF) Linacs for each stage of its multi-beam acceleration. IR, XUV and VUV FEL devices, and particularly the ability to combine these sources for users, provide a unique capability for this Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) based accelerator. The CW mode of operation for the SRF Linacs necessitates that adequate provision is made for delivering the required RF power and also damping of the beam induced HOMs to manageable levels. This paper outlines the RF requirements and proposed solutions for each of the 4GLS Linacs.

Beam Break Up (BBU) thresholds have been studied as part of the Linac focusing scheme for the proposed 4GLS accelerator. A graded gradient focusing scheme, with a triplet of quadrupoles between each of the modules within the Linac has been chosen. These quadrupoles are set-up in a defocusing – focusing – defocusing format with strengths of -1/2k, k, -1/2k. This value of k was altered and the BBU thresholds for the machine calculated using various BBU codes. Alternate cavity designs have also been investigated using CST’s Microwave Studio to see how the effects of higher order modes (HOMs) can be minimised whilst maintaining fundamental field flatness across theaccelerating cells. The number of cells/unit length and cell-to-cell geometries have also been parameterised and the corresponding BBU thresholds presented as a function of cavity geometry, with the intention of providing an optimum solution for 4GLS.
