A modular path length corrector for recirculating linacs
Abstract
We present a novel modular magnetic system that can introduce a large and continuously variable path length difference without simultaneous variation of the longitudinal dispersion. This is achieved by using a combination of an electrically adjustable magnetic chicane and a mechanically adjustable focusing chicane. We describe how such a system may be made either isochronous or with a given longitudinal dispersion, and show that the nonlinear terms in such a system are relatively small.
