Krafft, Geoffrey

In the last decade, stimulated by the success of the energy recovered free electron lasers, many projects have been initiated exploring the applications and limitations of beam energy recovery in recirculated linear accelerators (linacs). In this talk the performance of many existing energy recovered linacs is briefly reviewed. Looking forward, potential applications of energy recovered linacs such as recirculated linac light sources, high energy beam electron cooling devices, and electron beam sources for high energy colliders have been pursued with varying degrees of effort. The types of new technology that must be developed for applications, and more broadly, some of the open issues regarding this technology, are discussed in detail. The talk concludes with some thoughts on the future developments in this important, and expanding field.
