Description
Since April 2012, the ESRF booster synchrotron is powered with four 150 kW - 352.2 MHz solid state amplifiers (SSA). In 2013 another three 150 kW SSAs were taken into operation on the 6 GeV storage ring, powering new strongly HOM damped cavities, which are run in parallel with the existing five-cell cavities fed from 1.1 MW klystron transmitters. Operation experience and RF system developments partly linked with the recent implementation of top up operation will be reported.
A new ultra low emittance storage ring is under construction at the ESRF and will be installed in the existing tunnel in 2019. All the five-cell cavities will be replaced with single cell HOM damped cavities. Four of them will be powered with SSAs and ten with an existing klystron transmitter.
