The S-DALINAC is a recirculating superconducting electron linac operating at 3 GHz. The accelerator delivers a cw beam with energies up to 130 MeV to serve electron scattering experiments where highest momentum resolutions, typ. below 1·10-4 are required. Current activities aim to reduce the energy spread of the accelerator by two methods: Long term drifts, mainly a result of temperature drifts, will be corrected by a feedback system which measures the energy variation of the extracted beam continuously using rf-monitors. By means of time-of-flight analysis in a modified beamline a correction signal can be generated as a feedback for the rf control of the accelerating cavities. This system was set-up recently and first results will be reported. Furthermore, the influence of short term fluctuations, e.g. triggered by micro-phonics, on the electron energy can significantly be reduced utilizing the inherent stability of a microtron, if the synchronous phase and longitudinal dispersion are chosen properly. The concept, particle simulations and the experimental verification will be shown as well as necessary modifications to the recirculation scheme to use it in an all-day operation.

In future, a polarized gun will extend the experiment possibilities of the superconducting recirculating linear electron accelerator S-DALINAC. Therefore a new injector has to be designed where a new 100 keV polarized source SPIN will be added to the present unpolarized thermionic source. A polarization degree of 80%, a mean current of 60 uA and a 3 GHz cw structure are required. All features of the new source will be tested and measured at an offset beam line. The longitudinal beam dynamics of the injector are studied. The electron bunch length behind the gun is about 50 ps. The electrons has to be bunched to 5 ps for capturing the electrons to the main linac. Therefore a chopper/prebuncher system based on the devices used at MAMI is designed. The system consists of a harmonic chopper cavity, a slit, a first and a second harmonic prebuncher. The recent simulation results will be presented here.
