The status of plans for an Energy-Recovery Linac (ERL) X-ray facility at Cornell University is described. Currently, Cornell operates the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) at the CESR ring and the ERL is planned to be an extension to the CESR ring with the addition of a 5-GeV superconducting c.w. linac. Topics covered in this paper include the full layout on the Cornell campus, the different operation modes of the accelerator, methods to limit emittance growth, control of beam-ion effects and ways to limit transverse instabilities. As an upgrade of the CESR ring, special attention is given to reuse of many of the existing components. The very small electron-beam emittances would produce an x-ray source that is highly superior than any existing storage-ring light source. The ERL includes 18 X-ray beamlines optimized for specific areas of research that are currently being defined by an international group of scientists. This planned upgrade illustrates how other existing storage rings could be upgraded to work as ERL light sources with vastly improved beam qualities and with limited dark time for x-ray users.

The design of insertion device depends on the properties of the permanent magnet material used. While magnetic material properties such as coercive force, residual induction and magnetization variation with temperature are provided by manufacturer, demagnetization caused by radiation can be only roughly estimated based on very few published data. To obtain data which can be reliably used in ERL insertion device design, we irradiated two materials of very different coercive forces and measured their demagnetization as function of radiation dose. For irradiation we used 5GeV electron beam from Cornell 12GeV Synchrotron. Radiation dose was measured using the calorimetric technique. One of the materials was similar to what we plan to use in construction of ERL undulators. Detailed information on experimental setup, radiation dose measurement techniques, results and analysis will be presented.
