Feasibility Study of Multi Turn ERL Based Synchrotron Light Facility
Energy Recovery Linacs ERL have been discussed as drivers for synchrotron radiation facilities in X ray region for over a decade. The first proposal for a multi turn ERL as a next generation synchrotron light facility was in 1997. Since then great advances in ERL technology and high brightness electron source development were achieved, ERL based high power free electron infrared laser at JLab and the demonstration of multi turn energy recovery at BINP. The feasibility of an X ray ERL based light source seems more and more realistic. An overview of the design of a multi turn ERL under development at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin FSF Femto Science Factory is given in this pape
Analysis of Injection and Recovery Schemes for a Multi Turn ERL Based Light Source
A multi turn energy recovery linac based light source is under discussion. Using the superconducting Linac technology, the Femto Science Factory FSF will provide its users with ultra bright photon beams of angstrom wavelength. The FSF is intended to be a multi user facility and offer a variety of operation modes. The driver of the facility is a 6 GeV multiturn energy recovery linac with a split linac. In this talk we discuss designs of the optic in the linac and compare different schemes of beam acceleration a direct injection scheme with acceleration in a 6 GeV linac, a two stage injection with acceleration in a 6 GeV linac, and a multi turn 3 turn scheme with a two stage injection and two main 1 GeV linacs. Construction costs and beam break up instability were the key points for compariso

Feasibility study of an ERL based GEV Scale multi turn ligth source
A new generation of particle accelerators based on an Energy Recovery Linac ERL is a promising tool for a number of new applications. These include high brilliance light sources in a wide range of photon energies, electron cooling of ion beam and ERL based electron hadron colliders. Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin started a feasibility study of GeV scale multi turn ERL based light source LS . This LS will work in diffraction limited regime in X rays and with a short length of a light pulse in femtosecond region. The average and peak brightness will be at least an order of magnitude higher than synchrotronbased LS. In this work an overview of the future multiturn light source is given. Estimations of the Beam Break Up instability are presente

Experimental study of negative photoconductivity in n-PbTe(Ga) epitaxial films
We report on low-temperature photoconductivity (PC) in n-PbTe(Ga) epitaxial
films prepared by the hot-wall technique on -BaF_2 substrates. Variation
of the substrate temperature allowed us to change the resistivity of the films
from 10^8 down to 10_{-2} Ohm x cm at 4.2 K. The resistivity reduction is
associated with a slight excess of Ga concentration, disturbing the Fermi level
pinning within the energy gap of n-PbTe(Ga). PC has been measured under
continuous and pulse illumination in the temperature range 4.2-300 K. For films
of low resistivity, the photoresponse is composed of negative and positive
parts. Recombination processes for both effects are characterized by
nonexponential kinetics depending on the illumination pulse duration and
intensity. Analysis of the PC transient proves that the negative
photoconductivity cannot be explained in terms of nonequilibrium charge
carriers spatial separation of due to band modulation. Experimental results are
interpreted assuming the mixed valence of Ga in lead telluride and the
formation of centers with a negative correlation energy. Specifics of the PC
process is determined by the energy levels attributed to donor Ga III, acceptor
Ga I, and neutral Ga II states with respect to the crystal surrounding. The
energy level corresponding to the metastable state Ga II is supposed to occur
above the conduction band bottom, providing fast recombination rates for the
negative PC. The superposition of negative and positive PC is considered to be
dependent on the ratio of the densities of states corresponding to the donor
and acceptor impurity centers.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Linac optics design for multi turn ERL ligth source
The optics simulation group at HZB is designing a multi turn energy recovery linac based light source. Using the superconducting Linac technology, the Femto Science Factory FSF will provide its users with ultrabright photon beams of angstrom wavelength at 6 GeV. The FSF is intended to be a multi user facility and offer a variety of operation modes. In this paper a design of transverse optic of the beam motion in the Linacs is presented.

Modeling of the beam break up instability in Berlin energy recovery Linac project
Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin officially started Jan. 2011 the design and construction of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro. The initial goal of this compact ERL is to develop the ERL accelerator physics and technology required to accelerate a highcurrent low emittance beam. The conversion efficiency of an FEL is about 1 therefore superconducting ERL based FEL machines look promising. One of the problems of superconducting ERL machines is the Beam Break Up BBU instability which limits the current. In this work the threshold current of the BBU instability was calculated for the BERLinPro. The comparison of two 100 MeV linacs based on different type of superconducting cavities is made. Different methods of BBU suppression are investigated e.g. the influence of solenoid, pseudo reflector and quadruple triplets in the linac structure on the BBU threshol
