The HZB (previously BESSY) was the first institution in Germany to build and operate a dedicated synchrotron light source (BESSY I). About 10 years ago BESSY-II, a third generation synchrotron light source, was commissioned. Presently, HZB is developing a design for a future multi-user light source as a successor to BESSY II and to enable "next-generation" experiments. Such a facility will be based on the energy-recovery-linac (ERL) principle. Although ERL facilities exist for the IR and THz range their moderate parameters (current, emittance, energy) are insufficient for x-ray sources. HZB is therefore proposing to build a prototype ERL facility (BERLinPro) that will demonstrate high current and low emittance operation at 100 MeV. BERLinPro is intended to bring ERL technology to maturity so that it can be employed for x-ray light sources. This paper presents an overview of the projects and the key components of the facility.

Beam breakup (BBU) instability analyzes in superconducting multi cell cavities [V. Volkov, Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 12, 011301 (2009)] is extended to FZD like RF guns. Also, its BBU instability was studied numerically on base of dipole HOM analyzes and transverse beam dynamics. An effective way to suppress the BBU instability using TE mode RF focusing is presented and technically grounded. In that way, a widespread adoption of multi cell SC cavities in powerful RF guns with stable high currents is found to be essential able.

Dipole High Order Mode (HOM) interactions with a beam in a superconducting RF gun (SC RF gun) could destroy the quality of the electron beam and incite it to breakdown. For FZD like SRF gun, the characteristics of dipole HOMs including trapped HOM are calculated up to the frequency of 7.5 GHz. The behavior of the calculated parameters versus cavity longitudinal deformations has been studied. With using of dynamics calculations, dipole coupling impedances taking into account a large scale particle velocity changing at different accelerating gradients in the RF gun has been numerically calculated.
