Description

The existing 100 MeV linac at the Diamond Light Source will be used as the pre-injector into the upgraded Diamond-II booster ring for injection into the new 3.5 GeV storage ring. In preparation for the upcoming upgrade, we have characterised the linac beam properties, to provide an input for beam tracking simulations and to optimise the linac beam dynamics. We present the latest linac performance results, the optimisation of the linac and linac-to-booster beam transport and the injection efficiency into the current Diamond booster ring.
