Description

The 19 MeV electron linear accelerator ELSA at CEA DAM has been in operation for 30 years. A renovation of the RF system was necessary to improve the reliability of the system.
The second part of the renovation concerns the 144 MHz RF amplifier supplying power to the photo-injector.
The former tetrode based amplifier has been replaced by a 1.6 MW Solid State Power Amplifier delivered by Ampegon company. One of the challenges was to design a compact amplifier to keep the same footprint.
This paper will present the amplifier, the tests and the commissionning.
