Status Report of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro

The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin is constructing the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) bERLinPro on its site in Berlin Adlershof. The project is intended to expand the required accelerator physics and technology knowledge essential for the design, construction and operation of future ERL based large scale facilities. The project goal is the generation of a high current (100 mA), high brilliance (norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad) cw electron beam. We report on the project progress: The building will be ready for occupancy in January 2017. The planning phase for the first project stage is completed. Most of the components have been ordered and are in fabrication or have already been delivered. An update of the status of the various subprojects as well as a summary of upcoming activities will be given. Project milestones and details of the timeline finally will be reviewed.
