abstract = {{The Canadian Light Source Inc. (CLSI) is undertaking a significant Linear Accelerator (LINAC) injector Up-grade Project to enhance both the mechanical reliability and operational stability of Canada’s primary re-search synchrotron facility. In late 2018, a critical gun failure led to a seven-month facility downtime.. This incident raised concerns that the original LINAC from 1980 continued to be a high risk to daily facility operations. Furthermore, several other mechanical systems within the facility, including cooling/heating water, HVAC, and certain aspects of the LINAC vacuum systems, have also aged, resulting in decreased reliability. The upgrade to the LINAC and its associated mechanical systems presents an opportunity to significantly improve the operational reliability of the entire facility.}},
