  The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) 150 MeV linac has been relocated from its 2011 test site to the TPS linac tunnel in 2014. After functional test of the linac hardware modules, the beam parameters were carefully examined at a 31-degree bend diagnostic beam line LTD (linac to beam dump) and compared with previous results. Then, the 150 MeV electron beam was delivered to the linac to booster transfer line (LTB) for beam commissioning. The beam optics matching at both the LTB entrance (i.e. linac exit) and the LTB exit (i.e. injection point of booster) was performed for injection optimization purpose. The LTB lattice setting was verified in the beam steering through LTD and LTB with the help of diagnostics tools such as beam profile monitors (SM) and beam position monitors (BPM). The overall performance of the linac and LTB will be described in this report.

  The TPS LTB injection kicker was first commissioned using PFN pulser equipped with thyratron switch. Although its bench-testing results fulfilled the specifications but the performance was degraded due to unavoidable integration difficulty. After evaluating a couple of improvement options in hand, a pulser using IGBT switch was chosen for off-the-bench beneficial purpose. The upgraded pulser satisfies the overall specifications with comfortable margins. Some major performance parameters such as flattop and tail ringing are emphasized concerning their influence on beam injection. This report describes the field-testing result of this IGBT pulser.
