Abstract

The Cornell-BNL ERL Test Accelerator (CBETA) is a 4-turn Energy Recovery Linac with a FFAG return arc that is being built at Cornell University in collaboration with BNL. Cornell University has prototyped technology essential for any high brightness electron ERL. This includes a DC gun and an SRF injector Linac with world-record current and normalized brightness in a bunch train, a high-current CW cryomodule, a high-power beam stop, and several diagnostics tools for high-current and high-brightness beams, e.g. slit measurements for 6-D phase-space densities, a fast wire scanner for beam profiles, and beam loss diagnostics. All these are now available to equip a one-cryomodule ERL, and laboratory space has been cleared out and is radiation shielded to install this ERL at Cornell. BNL has designed a multi-turn ERL for eRHIC, where beam is transported more than 20 times around the RHIC tunnel. The number of transport lines is minimized by using two non-scaling (NS) FFAG arcs. A collaboration between BNL and Cornell has been formed to investigate eRHIC’s NS-FFAG optics and its multi-turn ERL by building a 4-turn, one-cryomodule ERL at Cornell. It has a NS-FFAG return loop built with permanent magnets and is meant to accelerate 40mA beam to 150MeV.
