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.

Hurricane Isabel, originally a Category 5 storm, arrived at Jefferson Lab on September 18 with winds of only 75 mph creating little direct damage to the infrastructure. However, electric power was lost for four days allowing the superconducting cryomodules to warm up and causing a total loss of the liquid helium. The subsequent recovery of the cryomodules and the impact of the considerable amount of opportunistic preventive maintenance provides important lessons for all accelerators complexes, not only those with superconducting elements. The details of how the recovery process was structured and the resulting improvement in accelerator availability will be discussed in detail.

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.

Recent advances in particle beam, laser and radiofrequency technologies, combined with innovative concepts and techniques such as energy recovery, coherent synchrotron radiation-induced bunching, laser-particle beam scattering, ultrashort pulse slicing, cw high current and brightness phtoinjectors, ultrafast laser switching and compact engineered end products have opened up new opportunities and vistas in terahertz/infrared radiation sources not available before. Such sources would complement the high energy short wavelength x-ray sources in that they will allow us to probe collective processes and their ?function? in complex systems and materials, in a fashion complementary to probing structure via x-rays. We will outline and give examples of both the scientific reach of such radiation sources as well as examples of a few conceived facilities and techniques worldwide spanning a diversity of spectral, coherence, brightness and application ranges in the long wavelength. Such facilities fall in the category of mezzo-scale facilities, bracketed by table top lasers on one hand and large scale synchrotron radiation sources on the other and offer very unique and directed advances in a few key areas in life, materials, imaging, instrumentation and communication sciences.
