41st Advanced ICFA Beam Dynamics Workshop on Energy Recovery Linacs,
"ERL07" May 21-25, 2007, Daresbury Laboratory

The next Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on Energy Recovery Linacs "ERL07" will be held at the Cockcroft Institute, Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington, UK, from May 21-25, 2007. This follows the successful inaugural Workshop on this topic
in March 2005 at Thomas Jefferson Laboratory.

This Workshop is sponsored by ASTeC, the STFC Accelerator Centre; Cockcroft Institute; John Adams Institute; Jefferson Laboratory; Argonne National Laboratory; Brookhaven National Laboratory; Cornell University; ICFA and e2v Ltd. It will address fundamental challenges related to the generation of high brightness and simultaneously high average current electron beams, and its stability and quality preservation during acceleration and energy recovery. Specifically, the Workshop will focus on:

• Design and development of high average current, low emittance,
  polarized and unpolarized photoinjectors

• Optimized lattice design and start-to-end simulation

• Beam stability and multibunch, multipass instabilities

• Beam halo formation and control of beam loss

• Superconducting RF system optimization for CW, high-current applications

• Higher order mode damping and efficient extraction of higher
  order mode power

• RF control and stability under the maximum practical QL

• Synchronization challenges

• Latest cryogenics techniques

• High current diagnostic and instrumentation techniques.

The program consists of an opening and a closing plenary session and parallel Working Group sessions including the following topics:

• Electron guns and injector designs

• Optics and beam transport

• Superconducting RF and RF system control

• Synchronization and diagnostics/instrumentation.

The deadline for advanced registration is March 31, 2007 . The detailed programme is being finalised and we will be encouraging the submission of contributed papers for the Working Group sessions. Proceedings will be published for both invited and contributed papers. For further information please email:
