The High Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIPA) facility at PSI delivers a proton beam of 2 mA during routine operation and was tested up to 2.4 mA. The acceleration includes three stages: a Cockcroft-Walton, the Injector 2 cyclotron and the Ring cyclotron.
The injector 2, commissioned in 1984, is a separated sector cyclotron with 4 sector magnets and 4 sections cavities. Two 50 MHz cavities...
ALBA is a 3rd generation 3 GeV synchrotron light source located in Barcelona, Spain. The RF system of the Storage Ring provides 3 MV of accelerating voltage with six 500 MHz HOM-damped cavities fed by two 80 kW IOTs each. The Booster RF system comprises a 50 kW SSPA and a 5 cell PETRA cavity. This presentation describes the performance of these systems and the upgrades performed in the last...
After 25 years of service to users, the world's first 3rd generation storage ring light source at the ESRF was shut down in December 2018 to leave the space for the first high energy 4th generation ultra low emittance ring, the Extremely Brilliant Source EBS. The new machine was started as scheduled in December 2019 and fully commissioned by the end of February 2020. Service to users was...
The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is in the midst of and upgrade, ALS-U, an upgrade which will replace the existing triple-bend achromat storage ring with a stronger focusing nine-bend achromat storage ring. The new storage ring’s small emittance and reduced dynamic aperture requires a new injection scheme. ALS-U has chosen an on-axis swap-out injection to exchange bunch trains between the...
