The Institute of Particle Physics is preparing a proposal to design and build a 10 GeV electron–positron ring to study electron–proton collisions at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory using the 1000 GeV protons from the Tevatron. The design and operation of a high-power electron linear accelerator is very similar to the accelerating system in an electron–positron storage ring. This report describes the design of an rf system for the main ring which has many characteristics similar to that found in the Electron Test Accelerator at Chalk River. Discussion of quantum lifetime, the amplitude of synchrotron oscillations, and the consequent choice of the size of the beam aperture have led to the design of a new structure which operates at a higher frequency than that used in the large storage rings presently in operation.

After 10 years of physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the particle physics landscape has greatly evolved. Today, a staged Future Circular Collider (FCC), consisting of a luminosity-frontier highest-energy electron–positron collider (FCC-ee) followed by an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh), promises the most far-reaching physics program for the post-LHC era. FCC-ee will be a precision instrument used to study the Z, W, Higgs, and top particles, and will offer unprecedented sensitivity to signs of new physics. Most of the FCC-ee infrastructure could be reused for FCC-hh, which will provide proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and could directly produce new particles with masses of up to several tens of TeV. This collider will also measure the Higgs self-coupling and explore the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. Thermal dark matter candidates will be either discovered or conclusively ruled out by FCC-hh. Heavy-ion and electron–proton collisions (FCC-eh) will further contribute to the breadth of the overall FCC program. The integrated FCC infrastructure will serve the particle physics community through the end of the twenty-first century. This review combines key contents from the first three volumes of the FCC Conceptual Design Report.

AbstractX-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility based on electron linear accelerator (LINAC) is regarded as one kind of the fourth-generation light source with the characteristics of high intensity, exceptional brightness, ultrashort pulse duration, and spatial coherence. In electron linear accelerator, energy of beam bunches is provided by high-power electromagnetic microwaves which are generated by a microwave tube called klystron. The stability of beam voltage of klystron occupies a key position in both the stability of output RF (Radio Frequency) power and the jitter of output RF phase, furthermore, it plays an extremely important role in beam energy stability of electron linear accelerator. In this paper, high power RF fluctuation and phase jitter of klystron output caused by beam voltage instability of klystron are analyzed and calculated. Influence of klystron beam voltage instability on beam energy gain in linear accelerator have also been further analyzed and calculated. The calculating procedure is particularly valuable for us to understand the relationship between pulse modulator stability and beam energy gain fluctuations. Finally, relevant experimental results measured by Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser Test Facility (SXFEL-TF) is presented.

A new type of a positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) system has been set up at the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE [ at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. In contrast to existing source-based PALS systems, the approach described here makes use of an intense photon beam from electron bremsstrahlung which converts through pair production into positrons inside the sample under study. The article focusses on the production of intense bremsstrahlung using a superconducting electron linear accelerator, the production of positrons inside the sample under study, the efficient detector setup which allows for annihilation lifetime and Doppler-broadening spectroscopy simultaneously. Selected examples of positron annihilation spectroscopy are presented.
