The Diamond Light Source (DLS) accelerator complex can be divided into three major components; a 3 GeV 561 m circumference storage ring, a 158.4 m circumference full-energy booster synchrotron and a 100 MeV pre-injector linac. This paper describes the design and presents commissioning results of the RF system for the booster synchrotron. Booster RF commissioning took place in late 2005 and early 2006 and involved the setting-into-operation of a 60 kW IOT amplifier, supplied by Thales Broadcast and Multimedia, a 5-cell copper cavity, manufactured by Accel Instruments, and a low-level RF system designed and built by Sincrotrone Trieste SCpA.

The Diamond accelerator complex is controlled with EPICS. While generic applications are provided by the EPICS toolkit, accelerator physics application for the commissioning and operation of the Diamond booster, storage ring and transfer line are mainly developed with MATLAB. The MATLAB Middle Layer tools developed at ALS and SPEAR3 have been extensively used and extended with many new applications. Experience using these tools during the commissioning of the Diamond booster, transfer lines and storage ring are reported.

Commissioning of the linac for the Diamond Light Source (DLS) was completed in October 2005. The linac was supplied by Accel Instruments as a complete system, with DLS providing beam diagnostics, beam analysis software, control system hardware and standard vacuum components. Much of the beam analysis was carried out using the first part of the Linac to Booster transfer line (LTB), which was designed and built by DLS. Operation of the linac and LTB at 100 MeV in long-pulse and short-pulse modes of operation was demonstrated, and all operational parameters were measured to be within specification.

The Diamond booster is a 158 m circumference, 5 Hz synchrotron which accelerates the 100 MeV electron beam from a linac to 3 GeV for full-energy injection into the Diamond storage ring. The booster has been commissioned in the first few months of 2006, following successful initial 100 MeV trials at the very end of 2005. The injection and ramping process, orbit correction and essential beam physics measurements are discussed as are extraction and beam transport to the storage ring.

The booster synchrotron of the Diamond Light Source is a full energy injector ramping from 100 MeV to 3 GeV with a repetition rate of 5 Hz. As part of the booster commissioning, beam optic measurements were performed to characterize the booster performance. Through the use of the beam position monitors, orbit corrections, tune and chromaticity measurements were performed at injection energy and during the ramp. A first comparison with the booster model is also discussed.
