Preaccelerator concepts for an energy-recovering superconducting accelerator
In this paper we compare two concepts of a preaccelerator for the energy-recovery linac MESA: a hybrid injector that combines normal conducting and superconducting technology and a fully normal conducting injector. The particle source delivers polarized electrons at 100 keV. Thus the first accelerating section has to be of a graded-β kind. The graded-β section is designed with a final energy exceeding 1 MeV so TESLA-type nine-cell resonators can be used as superconducting cavities. The final energy of the preaccelerator shall be 5 MeV to avoid neutron production in the beam dump of the energy-recovery linac.
