The 32nd Advanced ICFA Beam Dynamics Workshop on Energy Recovering Linacs
March 19 - 23, 2005
Newport News, Va, USA
Deadline for submitting papers for proceedings has been extended to May 30, 2005. |
Energy Recovering Linacs (ERLs) are emerging as a powerful new paradigm of electron accelerators as they hold the promise of delivering high average current beams with efficiency that approaches that of storage rings, while maintaining beam quality characteristics of linacs, as their 6-dimensional phase space is largely determined by electron source properties. Envisioned ERL applications include accelerators for the production of synchrotron radiation, free electron lasers, high-energy electron cooling devices, and electron-ion colliders. The proposed applications require of order 100 mA of average beam current and up to a few GeV of beam energy, while the present state of art is the 9 mA, 90 MeV energy recovering linac FEL at Jefferson Lab. Laboratories at Cornell University, Daresbury and Brookhaven intend to build in the near future ERL prototypes to address scalability questions.
We are organizing an international workshop on Energy Recovering Linacs, "ERL2005," the first of its kind, to address issues related to the generation of high brightness and simultaneously high average current electron beam, and its stability and quality preservation during acceleration and energy recovery. This workshop is sponsored by the ICFA Panel on Beam Dynamics, Jefferson Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cornell University and Daresbury Laboratory and will be held at Jefferson Laboratory in 2005
The workshop will explore issues related to:
- Design and development of high-average current, low emittance polarized and unpolarized photoinjectors
- Optimized lattice design and longitudinal gymnastics
- Beam stability and multibunch, multipass instabilities
- Beam halo formation and control of beam loss
- Superconducting rf optimization for cw, high-current applications
- Higher order mode damping and efficient extraction of higher order mode power
- RF control and stability under the maximum practical QL
- Synchronization issues
- High current diagnostic and instrumentation techniques
Some of the goals that will guide the workshop include:
- Describe paths towards the development of high current, high brightness polarized and unpolarized photoinjectors
- Describe a path towards proving feasibility of high-current, high-energy energy recovering linacs
- Document existing solutions and identify open questions
- Develop a program for future research and development
- Strengthen and expand international collaborations on these topics
