Description
As presented in detail at the CWRF’2008 workshop, the ESRF RF system will undergo a major upgrade, klystrons being replaced with high power solid state amplifiers (SSA) and existing five-cell cavities of the storage ring with strongly HOM damped single cell cavities. The company ELTA, who has a technology transfer contract with SOLEIL, was selected to produce the first batch of seven 150 kW SSA for the ESRF. The first four SSA will be installed end of 2011 and then be operated in pulsed mode on the booster cavities. The following three SSA will be commissioned mid 2012 to power the first three HOM damped cavities on the storage ring. The progress of the SSA design and manufacture will be presented at the workshop.
