Description

Canadian Light Source, a 2.9 GeV 3rd generation synchrotron located in Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada, has had a superconducting wiggler since 2005. Commissioned in July 2005, the wiggler and associated systems have been serviced and upgraded throughout the years. I will look at system design, operations use and upgrades. A look at the quench count and some contributing factors for the excessive high number. What is CLS doing to reduce the frequent quenches and how this could affect operations?
