The goal of the experiment is to investigate the possible energy spread and emittance growth in bending of space-charge dominated beams. The ring will also provide a longer path for the study of beam dynamics than is available in our existing 5-m long transport channel. A pulsed extraction system similar to the injector will be included for beam analysis. The ring main parameters are summarized in Table 1. The University of Maryland proposed electron ring represents an exciting opportunity to study the transport of highly space-charge dominated beams.
Potential applications are for circular accelerators requiring intense pulses.
