National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Energy Recovery Electron Linac-on-Proton Ring Collider.

DE2001779409

Publication Date	2001
Personal Author	Merminga, L.; Krafft, G.; Lebedev, V.
Page Count	7
Abstract	Electron-proton colliders with center of mass energies between 14 GeV and 30 GeV and luminosities at the 10(sup 33) level have been proposed recently as a means for studying hadronic structure (1). Electron beam polarization appears to be crucial for the majority of experiments. Two accelerator design scenarios have been examined in detail: colliding rings (2) and recirculating linac-on-ring (3). Although the linac-on-ring scenario is not as well understood as the ring-ring scenario, comparable luminosities appear feasible, while the linac-on-ring option presents a significant advantage with spin manipulations. Rf power and beam dump requirements make the linac-on-ring option viable only if the electron linac recovers the beam energy, a technology demonstrated at Jefferson Lab's IR FEL, with cw current up to 5 mA and beam energy up to 50 MeV (4). We begin with a brief overview of the Jefferson Lab energy recovery FEL and summarize the benefits of energy recovery. The feasibility of an energy recovery linac-ring collider is investigated and two conceptual point designs are shown. Luminosity projections for the linac-ring scenario based on fundamental limitations are presented. Accelerator physics issues are discussed and we conclude with a list of required R and D for the realization of such a design.
