TENTATIVE DESIGNS FOR A STORAGE RING FOR IMPROVING THE DUTY FACTOR OF A 40-MeV ELECTRON LINAC.

Present article gives details of a design for a storage ring for duty-factor improvement of the beam of an approximately 40-MeV electron linac. In order to examine how the linac beam emittance available and the energy range to be stored may influence the design, four alternative tentative ring designs are presented. Factors which may influence the final choice of design for a particular installation are also discussed in relation to the practical limitations of available components.
