“…There have been previous comparisons of the performance of ILC simulations codes [1,2,3,4]. These have found good agreement when comparing emittance growth due to betatron oscillations, wakefields and off-energy nonlinearities.…”

In an effort to compare beam dynamics and create a "benchmark" for Dispersion Free Steering (DFS) a comparison was made between different ILC simulation programs while performing DFS. This study consisted of three parts. First, a simple betatron oscillation was tracked through each code. Secondly, a set of component misalignments and corrector settings generated from one program was read into the others to confirm similar emittance dilution. Thirdly, given the same set of component misalignments DFS was performed independently in each program and the resulting emittance dilution was compared. Performance was found to agree exceptionally well in all three studies.

“…Comparisons of the performance between ILC simulations codes are well documented [1,2,3,4]. The general conclusion is that BMAD [5], LIAR [6], Merlin [7], PLACET [8] and MAD [9] simulate the emittance dilution in the ILC main linac consistently.…”

“…While it could have turned out that reusing CESR imposes too many constraints, quite contrary it has been found that the flexibility of CESR's magnet arrangement holds several advantages for an ERL design. First and second order electron optics have been found for bunch compression down to at least 100 fs with the code TAO [9,10], and nearly all required magnet strength could be supported by the magnets that are in CESR today.…”

We describe the status of plans to build an EnergyRecovery Linac (ERL) X-ray facility at Cornell University. This 5 GeV ERL is an upgrade of the CESR ring that currently powers the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) [1]. Due to its very small electron-beam emittances, it would dramatically improve the capabilities of the light source and result in X-ray beams orders of magnitude better than any existing storage-ring light source. The emittances are based upon simulations for currents that are competitive with ring-based sources [2,4]. The ERL design that is presented has to allow for non-destructive transport of these small emittances. The design includes a series of X-ray beamlines for specific areas of research. As an upgrade of the existing storage ring, special attention is given to reuse of many of the existing ring components. Bunch compression, tolerances for emittance growth, simulations of the beam-breakup instability and methods of increasing its threshold current are mentioned. This planned upgrade illustrates how other existing storage rings could be upgraded as ERL light sources with vastly improved beam qualities.
