Funding: *Work supported by the BMBF through 05K13RDA The superconducting electron accelerator S-DALINAC at TU Darmstadt produces c.w. electron beams of up to 90 MeV. The S-DALINAC consists of a SC 14-MeV injector linac, a SC main linac and two recirculation paths. Currently a third recirculation is in its final design phase and will be constructed end 2014 in order to achieve an energy of 130 MeV in future. The main linac houses eight 20-cell SRF cavities operated at 3 GHz and 2 K. Due to the occurance of transverse beam break-up, the highest stable beam current obtained so far amounts to 5 μA only, which is below the design beam current of 20 μA but sufficient for the nuclear physics experiments carried out at Darmstadt since 1991. In this work we will present beam-dynamics calculations and newly designed magnets for planned experiments at the S-DALINAC in order to benchmark different strategies of increasing the threshold current for beam break-up. |
