In this paper, we present a generalised analytical framework for beam dynamics studies and lattice designs, while incorporating longitudinal acceleration of bunches of charged particles. We study a ’FODO-like’ scheme, whereby we have an alternating array of focusing and defocusing quadrupoles and study how this differs from a standard FODO lattice due to acceleration. We present optimisation techniques to provide quadrupole parameters, cavity lengths, and required drift lengths under different constraints.

  In multi-turn Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs), the filling pattern describes the order that which bunches are injected into the ERL ring. The filling patterns and recombination schemes together can create various beam loading patterns/transients, which can have a big impact on the RF system, namely the cavity fundamental mode voltage, required RF power, and beam breakup instability. In this work, we demonstrate one can lower the cavity voltage fluctuation and rf power consumption by carefully choosing the right transient by using an analytical model and simulation.

Tanning of leather for clothing, shoes and handbags uses potentially harmful chemicals that are often run off into local water supplies or require a large carbon footprint to safely recover these pollutants. In regions of the world with significant leather production this can lead to a significant environmental impact. However recent studies have suggested that leather can instead be tanned using a combination of electron beams in a process inspired by the industrial crosslinking of polymers, to drastically reduce the quantity of wastewater produced in the process; thereby resulting in a reduced environmental impact as well as potential cost savings on wastewater treatment. In this talk, initial studies of leather tanning will be presented as well as accelerator designs for use in leather irradiation.
