The HOMEN Model: An Estimator of High Order Modes Evolution in an Energy Recovery Linac
Energy recovery linacs represent the new frontier of energy sustainability in the field of particle accelerators while
providing remarkable performance in terms of high average
current and average brightness. Operating superconducting radio-frequency cavities in continuous wave make high
repetition rates (GHz-class) affordable and allow the construction of light sources such as FEL or Compton based
characterized by high flux. This study originates in the context of the design study of BriXSinO, an ERL based on the
two-pass two-way scheme à la Maury Tigner in which the
cavities are traveled by the beam in both directions, the first
time in the accelerating phase and the second time in the
decelerating phase. The code HOMEN was conceived as
a model to simulate the evolution of high order modes on
long time scales in high Q cavities of machines of this kind
and monitor their effects on the beam
GeV-Class two-fold CW linac driven by an arc-compressor
We present a study of an innovative scheme to generate high repetition rate (MHz-class)
GeV electron beams by adopting a two-pass two-way acceleration in a super-conducting Linac
operated in Continuous Wave (CW) mode. The beam is accelerated twice in the Linac by being
re-injected, after the first pass, in opposite direction of propagation. The task of recirculating the
electron beam is performed by an arc compressor composed by 14 Double Bend Achromat (DBA).
In this paper, we study the main issues of the two-fold acceleration scheme, the electron beam
quality parameters preservation (emittance, energy spread), together with the bunch compression
performance of the arc compressor, aiming to operate an X-ray Free Electron Laser. The requested
power to supply the cryogenic plant and the RF sources is also significantly reduced w.r.t a
conventional one-pass SC Linac for the same final energy
BriXs ultra high fluxinverse compton source based on modified push-pull energy recovery linacs
We present a conceptual design for a compact X-ray Source BriXS (Bright and compact
X-ray Source). BriXS, the first stage of the Marix project, is an Inverse Compton Source (ICS) of
X-ray based on superconducting cavities technology for the electron beam with energy recirculation
and on a laser system in Fabry-Pérot cavity at a repetition rate of 100 MHz, producing 20–180 keV
monochromatic X-Rays devoted mainly to medical applications. An energy recovery scheme based on
a modified folded push-pull CW-SC twin Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) ensemble allows us to sustain
an MW-class beam power with almost one hundred kW active power dissipation/consumption
Optimisation Study of the Fabry-Pérot Optical Cavity for the MARIX/BRIXS Compton X-Ray Source
We present the study of the optimization of the optical cavity parameters, in order to maximise the flux of scattered photons in the Compton scattering process. In the optimisation, we compensate the losses of the photon number due to the elliptical shape of the laser pulse in optical cavity with a high focusing electron beam
Towards a muon collider
A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges of producing muon collisions at high luminosity and 10 TeV centre of mass energy are being investigated by the recently-formed International Muon Collider Collaboration. This Review summarises the status and the recent advances on muon colliders design, physics and detector studies. The aim is to provide a global perspective of the field and to outline directions for future work
