ERLP Overview Hywel Owen ASTeC Daresbury Laboratory

Light Source Hierarchy First generation - parasitic SR beamlines on high-energy physics accelerators; e.g. the SRF on NINA. Second generation - dedicated particle accelerators providing synchrotron radiation from bending (dipole) magnets. Third generation - dedicated particle accelerators providing synchrotron radiation from special magnets (insertion devices) placed between the dipole magnets. Fourth generation - FEL-based (could be linac, storage ring)

The Solution - a Linac-Based Light Source Linac can deliver a very high quality electron beam (now) Electrons are required only once then dumped. Temporal pulse pattern flexibility. Features: High average brightness gun. Normal or superconducting linear accelerator. One or more FELs. Energy Recovery required for economy (55 MW power in 4GLS CW branch).
