Abstract :
A superconducting electron linac together with an energy-recovery system, which has been demonstrated as a useful driver for high-power IR-FELs, seems to be an attractive device for a future X-ray FEL facility as well, because the energy-recovery enable one to reduce the RF generator power required for the operation and also reduce the radiation from the beam dump. Automatic cancellation of beam loading by energy-recovery makes the bunch-train structure flexible, which is preferable for experimental users. We summarize critical issues in the energy-recovery option for a future X-ray FEL
