A booster synchrotron has been built and recently commissioned at Duke University Free Electron Laser Laboratory (DFELL) as part of the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) facility upgrade. HIGS is developed collaboratively by the DFELL and Triangular Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL). The booster will provide top-off injection into the Duke FEL storage ring in the energy range of 0.27 - 1.2 GeV. When operating the Duke storage ring to produce high energy Compton gamma ray beams above 20 MeV, continuous electron beam loss occurs. The lost electrons will be replenished by the booster injector operating in the top-off mode. The compactness of the booster posed a challenge for its development and commissioning. The booster has been successfully commissioned in 2006. This paper reports experience of commissioning and initial operation of the booster.

First operational experience has been gained with the linac and booster diagnostic system during the commissioning of the booster synchrotron at Duke University. Beam charge measurements are provided by Faraday cups, Integrated Current Transformers (ICT) and Modular Parametric Current Transformer (MPCT). Beam position monitoring is based on BPM system delivered from Bergoz company. Betatron tune measurements use synchrotron radiation (SR) and are different for two modes of operation: stored beam and energy ramping. Transverse profile and temporal beam structure monitoring employ insertable screens, CCD cameras, striplines and dissector. The diagnostics provided good understanding of electron beam behavior and allowed to adjust important beam parameters within design specifications. An overview of the diagnostic instrumentation of the Duke linac and booster synchrotron is given along with measurement examples and discussion of operational experience.
