A successful GeV scale energy recovery demonstration with a high ratio of peak-to-injection energies (50:1) was carried out on the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) recirculating superconducting linear accelerator in the spring 2003. To gain a quantitative understanding of the beam behavior through the machine, data was taken to characterize the 6D phase space during the CEBAF-ER (CEBAF with Energy Recovery) experimental run. The transverse emittance and energy spread of the accelerating and energy recovered beams were measured in several locations to ascertain the beam quality preservation during energy recovery. Measurements also included the RF system's response to the energy recovery process and transverse beam profile of the energy recovered beam. One of the salient conclusions from the experiment is that the energy recovery process does not contribute significantly to the emittance degradation. The current status of the data analysis will be presented as well as plans for a GeV scale energy recovery experimental run with current doubling.

We report on progress in conceptual development of the proposed high luminosity (up to 1035/cm2s) and efficient spin manipulation (using figure 8 boosters and collider rings) Electron-Ion Collider at CEBAF based on use of polarized 5-7 GeV electrons in superconduction energy recovering linac (ERL with circulator ring, kicker-operated) and 30-150 GeV ion storage ring (polarized p, d. He3, Li and unpolarized nuclei up to Ar, all totally stripped). Ultra-high luminosity is envisioned to be achievable with short ion bunches and crab-crossing at 1.5 GHz bunch collision rate interaction points. Our recent studies concentrated on simulation of beam-beam interaction, preventing the electron cloud instability, calculating luminosity lifetime due to Touschek effect in ion beam and background scattering of ions, experiments on energy recovery at CEBAF, and other. These studies have been incorporated in the development of the luminosity calculator and in formulating minimum requirements to the polarized electron and ion sources

Measurement of asymmetry between alternating opposite electron polarization in electron-nucleon scattering experiments can answer important questions about nucleon structures. Such experiments impose stringent condition on the electron beam quality, and thus the accelerator used for beam creation and delivery. Of particular concern to such ?parity? experiments is the level of correlation between beam characteristics (orbit, intensity) and electron polarization that can obscure the real asymmetry. This can be introduced at the beam forming stage, created due to scraping, or not damped to desired level due to defective transport. Suppression of such correlation thus demands tight control of the beam line from cathode to target, and requires multi-disciplined approach with collaboration among nuclear physicists and accelerator physicists/engineers. The approach adopted at Jefferson Lab includes reduction of correlation source, improving low energy beam handling, and monitoring and correcting global transport. This paper will discuss methods adopted to meet the performance criteria imposed by parity experiments, and ongoing research aimed at going beyond current performance.
