The concept pursued by HZB at the moment is to combine Cornell’s ERL main Linac cell design with a waveguide based HOM damping design mainly developed by JLab.

To allow for variable coupling and operation at high loaded quality factor (low coupling strength, QL=5e7), one waveguide is replaced by a TTF-III style fundamental power coupler.

At the moment end cell studies are performed to achieve a field flat design with highest damping of the HOMs. Following studies of the whole coupled structure of a three cavity string need to demonstrate, that propagating HOM are sufficiently damped to avoid further unwanted beam-cavity interaction.

Linac Module

Detailing of the linac module starts as soon as the linac cavity design is fixed.
