Description

The proposed ten-pass energy recovery linac (ERL) demonstration (five accelerating, five decelerating) at the CEBAF accelerator, ER@CEBAF, involves a multi-GeV energy
range of a continuous electron beam. New CEBAF transverse optics were designed for this ERL demonstration. This redesign incorporates additional components in Arc A, including a path length chicane and new quadrupoles to ensure proper dispersion localization. The new five energy recovery passes with a shared arc transport scheme challenge the overall beamline optics design, including large beta functions in the CEBAF spreaders and recombiners. Here we discuss results of bunch tracking performed using
the elegant tracking code for the full ER@CEBAF beamline.
