Developments for Cornell's X-Ray ERL

Cornell University is planning to build an EnergyRecovery Linac (ERL) X-ray facility. In this ERL design, a 5-GeV superconducting linear accelerator extends the CESR ring which is currently used for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. Here we describe some of the recent developments for this ERL, including linear and nonlinear optics incorporating the existing CESR lattice elements and a dual turnaround, undulator developments, optimization of X-ray beams, progress in calculations of coherent synchrotron radiation, and the technical design of ERL cavities and cryomodules.
