Accelerator physics in an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) at CESR

While the emittances of an electron beam can be smaller in a linear accelerator than in a ring-based synchrotron radiation source, the beam power in a ring can be much larger since the high energy electrons create a large current while they are used over and over again on each revolution. In order to create similar beam powers in a linear accelerator, exorbitant electrical energy would be required, which would be consumed and dumped at the end of the accelerator. Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) might lead out of this dilemma. They recover the energy of the spent electron beam in superconducting cavities and use it to accelerate subsequent electron bunches. Cornell plans to build a prototype facility that tests several critical accelerator physics issues before a large scale x-ray facility based on an ERL can be proposed. After successful test an ERL addition to the CESR accelerator at Cornell University should create an exceptional X-ray facility.

Accelerator physics for TESLA

The planning of a TeV Superconducting Linear Accelerator (TESLA) is the largest initiative at DESY for a future e+/e- linear collider. In an initial stage this accelerator will collider 250GeV electrons on 250GeV positrons. Such a large scale accelerator naturally consists of many subsystems which each have their own interesting accelerator physics issues. To test the main concepts and the main technical challenges of TESLA, the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) is being operated at DESY.

Accelerator physics for the HERA luminosity upgrade

When I moved to DESY in 1998, it had been planned to upgrade the HERA luminosity to 7.5*10^31/(cm^2 s), which was 5 times the original design luminosity. This was to be achieved by decreasing the proton beam size by moving quadrupoles closer to the interaction point and by increasing their strength. Similar measures decrease the electron beam size. However, to match the smaller proton beam size, the horizontal electron emittance additionally has to be decreased. Several aspects of electron and proton beam dynamics had to be considered in order to allow these changes in HERA.

Dynamics of polarized beams

The changes required for accelerating and storing polarized beams in the proton accelerators at DESY were investigated. For these studies the particle and spin dynamics program SPRINT was developed. The basis of this program is the "stroboscopic average", which is used to compute invariant subsets of the coupled spin and orbit dynamics. These invariants limit the polarization in a proton beam at HERA.

Long term stability in storage rings

Nonlinear normal form theory and interval arithmetic were used to make rigorous and therefore extremely reliable statements about the time for which particles can be stored in circular accelerators. Applications to other weakly nonlinear dynamical systems are possible.

Particle dynamics in electro magnetic fringe fields

Using differential algebra, a method was developed which allows a very efficient and accurate computation of the particle dynamics in fringe fields. Since then this method was used in the design and simulation of several spectrometers and accelerators.

Tolerances and optical properties of electron optical devices with nonlinear fields were investigated. Of special interest were tolerances of the sextupole fields which were used by Dr. M. Haider in 1997 to obtain a world record of resolution.
