Description

Due to linac operational issues, the Canadian Light Source has recently reduced the injection energy of its booster synchrotron from 250 MeV to 152 MeV. We found that we needed to be increasingly careful with the booster ring transverse tunes as we decreased the injection energy. We needed to make fine adjustments of the tunes during the low energy part of the ramp, requiring new software. Adjusting the energy compression system (ECS) and transfer line was mostly a linear process. Recent improvements in diagnostics and software have greatly simplified ECS and transfer line setup.

Funding Agency
