Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The NSLS-II linac is produced by Research Instruments and will be commissioned in the spring of 2012. As part of the procurement, the linac front end consisting of the gun, prebunching cavity, and diagnostics was delivered early to BNL for testing. We designed a short beamline to supplement the Front End diagnostics to characterize the beam. These tests were instrumental in demonstrating the functioning of the gun, pinpointing technical problems at an early project stage and gaining experience with the linac gun by BNL staff prior to commissioning of the full linac. In this report we show the results of the tests, including charge, bunch length, and transverse emittance measurements and compare them with the relevant linac specifications. |

TUPPP026 | RF Rescue Option for TPS Linac | 1668 |

The 150 MeV linac of Taiwan Photon Source was commissioned in June 2011. It consists of 90 keV electron source, bunching system and three S-band accelerating sections driven by three high-power klystrons. The rf system is equipped with rescue option such that the rf power from second klystron can be split and fed into both accelerating section 1 and 2. The rescue operation will be needed in the event of a failure occurred at the first klystron. In the report, the rescue capability will be illustrated and the test results will also be discussed. | ||
