Status of the Berlin Energy Recovery Project BERLinPro

After the funding approval in late 2010 and the official project start in 2011, a mayor review of the critical design parameters took place in summer 2011. Following the strong advice of the first MAC meeting, the final energy has been reduced to 50 MeV in order to stay within the tight financial frame. As a result primarily the cold super conducting radio frequency SRF systems and the injection had to be redesigned. In spring 2012 a Conceptual Design Report will be published that mirrors the present state of the project. This article summons critical strategic and design decision

Status of the HZB ERL Prototype bERLinPro

The Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Prototype BERLinPro is to be constructed at the Helmholtz Zentrum site in Berlin. The aim of the project is to expand the required accelerator physics and technology knowledge mandatory for the generation of a high current 100 mA , high brilliance norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad cw electron beam. Since the funding decision in October 2010 the project has entered a phase of detailed planning. Hardware specifications have been defined and various components have been ordered. Furthermore, extensive tests of principal superconducting accelerator components successfully demonstrated the envisaged hardware performance. A summary of the most recent activities together with the details of the project timeline for the coming years are given in this pape

Status Report of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro

The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin is constructing the Energy Recovery Linac Prototype bERLinPro, a demonstration facility for the science and technology of ERLs for future light source applications. bERLinPro is designed to accelerate a high current 100 mA, 50 MeV , high brilliance norm. emittance below 1mmmrad CW electron beam. We report on the last year s progress, including the comissioning of the gun module as the first SRF component to be installed in bERLinPr
