Description
OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE SOLEIL 352 MHZ RF SYSTEMS
Patrick Marchand, on behalf of the SOLEIL RF group
The 352 MHz RF accelerating systems for the SOLEIL Booster (BO) and Storage Ring (SR) are in operation since mid 2006. In the BO, a 5-cell copper cavity of the CERN-LEP type is powered with a 35 kW solid state amplifier. In the SR, the required RF accelerating voltage (up to 4.4 MV) and power (560 kW at full beam current of 500 mA) is provided with two cryomodules, each containing a pair of superconducting cavities, specifically designed for SOLEIL. Both cryomodules are cooled down to 4.2 K with liquid helium from a single 350 W liquefier and each cavity is powered by a 180 kW solid state amplifier. The operational experience with these systems is reported.
