The Superconducting Linear Accelerator S-DALINAC at the University of Darmstadt (Germany) is a recirculating linac with two recirculations providing beams for measurements in nuclear physics at small momentum transfers. For these experiments an energy spread of better than 10-4 (rms) is needed. Currently acceleration in the linac section is done on crest of the accelerating field. The recirculation path is operated achromatic and isochronous. In this recirculation scheme the energy spread of the resulting beam in the ideal case is determined by the electron bunch length. Taking into account the stability of the RF system the energy spread increases drastically to more than 10-3 (rms). We will present a new non-isochronous recirculation scheme which helps cancelling out these errors from the rf-control. This scheme uses longitudinal dispersion in the recirculation paths and an acceleration off-crest with a certain phase with respect to the maximum. We will present results of the commissioning of the new system including measurements of the longitudinal dispersion in the recirculation arcs as well as measurements of the resulting energy spread using an electron spectrometer.

  As In-Kind contributor to E-XFEL project, CEA is committed to the integration on the Saclay site of the 100 cryomodules of the superconducting linac as well as to the procurement of the magnetic shieldings, superinsulation blankets and 31 cold beam position monitors of the re-entrant type. The assembly infrastructure has been renovated from the previous Saturne Synchrotron Laboratory facility: it includes a 200 m2 clean room complex with 120 m2 under ISO4, 1325 m2 of assembly platforms and 400 m2 of storage area. In parallel, CEA has conducted industrial studies and three cryomodule assembly prototyping both aiming at preparing the industrial file, the quality management system and the commissioning of the assembly plant, tooling and control equipments. In 2012, the contract of the integration will be placed to a subcontractor. The paper will summarize the outputs of the preparation and prototyping phases and the up-coming industrial phase.

  In 2013, the beam energy of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) linac is going to be increased from 181-MeV to 400-MeV by adding the annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) at the downstream of the 191-MeV drift tube linac. To install and operate all the ACS cavities in only five months of the energy upgrade shutdown in 2013, we decided to replace and upgrade all the related component of the beam line (cables, magnet power supplies and vacuum control systems) for the 400-MeV operation, in the period of the recovery from the Tohoku Earthquake which caused not negligible damage to the J-PARC accelerator facilities. The present beam line is operated by using some part of the 400-MeV componets. In this paper, the recovery of the beam transport, the present status and the future tasks of the beam energy upgrade will be presented.

  In the last 25 years, we have been using our in house 3D code PRODYN * for electron beam simulations. We have also been using our in house code SECTION for the design of the travelling wave accelerating structures and the beam loading compensation. PRODYN follows in time, the most complicated electron trajectories with relativistic space-charge effects. This code includes backward as well as forwards movements. This paper will describe those two codes and will give some simulations and measurements results.
