  The KEK linac is a 600-m-long linear accelerator with maximum energy 8-GeV electron and 3.5-GeV positron, and it is used as an injector for 4-rings (KEKB e-/ e+, PF, PF-AR). To increase the operation efficiency, we have an injector upgrade plan for the quasi-simultaneous injection. In this paper, we will present the operation scheme and the construction of a new beam transport line in detail.

  The e+/e- injector LINAC in KEK usually injects into four rings which are Low Energy Ring (LER) of KEKB (3.5GeV/e+), High Energy Ring (HER) of KEKB(8.0GeV/e-), Photon Factory (PF)(2.5GeV/e-) and Advanced Ring for pulse x-rays (PF-AR)(3.0GeV/e-). While LINAC continuously injects into LER and HER alternately about every five minutes, both of the KEKB rings usually store almost full operating currents. Time for PF or PF-AR, which includes switching time, took about 20 minutes several times a day. During this, the storage currents in KEKB rings decreased, and the optimum points of luminosity tuning had been lost. It had taken more than two hours to recover the luminosity. It is so useful for KEKB to shorten the time for switch LINAC KEKB to/from PF or PF-AR. In summer of 2005, the transport line from LINAC to PF were renewed, in which a DC bending magnet only for PF line apportions electron beam from the end of LINAC to the new line. We succeeded to reduce the occupancy time for PF injection to about five minutes. In this paper design of the new PF beam transport line and the practical performance achieved according to the design are described.

  The KEK electron/positron linac has been operated since 1982, surpassing the total operation time of more than 100,000 hours. It delivers four different beams to four different rings quite stably, even frequently switching beam modes. The operation time per year has reached 7,000 hours since 1999 when the KEKB entered a normal operation mode. Operation status and statistics will be reported with the emphasis on continuing efforts in various kinds of machine improvements, which have ensured the stable operation.

  KEK Linac provides electrons and positrons to Photon Factory (PF) and B-Factory (KEKB). Because of the nature of those factory machines both quantity and quality of the beams are required. In order to improve the injections, quasi top-up injections of electrons to PF and KEKB rings have been planned and a new beam transport line was built. Fast beam switching mechanisms are being developed and installed. The timing and control system is also reinforced to realize fast (50Hz) switching of rf timing pulses, low-level rf, beam instrumentation parameters, and beam feedback parameters. The present timing system provides precise (jitters down to 5ps) timing pulses to 150 devices. Many of the signals will be upgraded to enable the fast switching scheme with an event system. At the same time a double-fold synchronization between asynchronous Linac and PF rf signals was developed to achieve precise injection timing mainly because both rings have independent circumference correction systems.
