SOLEIL has pioneered the use of RF solid state power amplifiers (SSPA’s), 1 x 35 kW in its Booster and 4 x 180 kW in its Storage Ring at 352 MHz. After 11 years of operation, these SSPA's, which were developed in house, have demonstrated that they could advantageously replace the vacuum tubes in such CW application thanks in particular to their inherent modularity/redundancy, the absence of HV...
The first beam commissioning of the SuperKEKB has finished in June 28, 2016. Almost all the magnet power supplies in SuperKEKB were reused ones of KEKB main ring. Some of the power supplies were improved to satisfy the requirements of optical design, and some of them were replaced by new power supplies. Several tests were performed for all of the power supplies to check the soundness. The...
The ISAC-II LINAC at TRIUMF employs superconducting RF cavities to accelerate heavy ions to high energies efficiently. Keeping this accelerator functioning consistently means that its supporting cryogenics system must be kept working dependably and the aftereffects of detrimental events, like site power disruptions and cavity quenching, must be reduced to a minimum. Improvements and upgrades...
The TRIUMF 520 MeV cyclotron requires a precise magnetic field in order to operate. 55 pairs of trim coils allow small corrections to be made. In 2013, the ageing 110 trim coil power supplies were replaced with new switch mode power supplies. This greatly improving reliability and performance.
Trim coil tuning is accomplished by making small changes to individual coils in an effort to...
