Description
The Low Energy Recirculation Facility (LERF) began as the Jefferson Lab Free Electron Laser (FEL) in the late 1990s. The facility was designed as an energy recovered linac demonstrating high beam operations up to 200 MeV electrons at 10 milliamp CW. This FEL reached a CW power of >14kwatt CW and provided light to users. Later the accelerator was eventually reconfigured for the Darklight nuclear physics experiment and later used to create Cu67 isotopes. It currently is used as a cryomodule test facility for the SLAC LCLS-II/HE CMs. It’s future includes restoring its 100kW/10MeV electron injector with polarized electron beams to support the laboratory’s positron R&D program as well as operating a copper NCRF accelerator at 915 MHz, and testing EIC 591 MHz cryomodules.
