Funding: Work supported by DFG through SFB 634 The S-DALINAC is a superconducting recirculating electron accelerator with maximum design energy of 130 MeV operating in cw at 3 GHz. Even so the gradients of the superconducting cavities are well above design, their design quality factor of 3*109 have not been reached so far, leading to higher heat transfer into the liquid helium than expected. Due to the limited cooling power of the cryo-plant being 120 W, the final energy achievable in cw operation is around 85 MeV, currently. In order to provide a cw beam with the designed final energy in the future, the installation of an additional recirculation path is projected. We will report on the beam-line and the magnet design for the new recirculation path. In addition, we will present the layout of two proposed scraper-systems which will be used to remove the halo of the electron beam allowing high precision coincidence experiments with very low background for nuclear physics in the future. |
