Frequent Fill Top-Off Injection at SPEAR3
Allison, Stephanie.
SPEAR3 beam is now delivered to users in a 'frequent fill' mode in which beam is injected into the storage ring, with beam-line shutters open, on a periodic schedule so that the beam current is kept constant to within 1% of its average value. This goal was achieved with the constraints of having the SPEAR3 injector run at very high reliability and ensuring that there would be no challenges to the beam containment system in this operational mode. This paper presents the accelerator development, t... Show Full Abstract
SPEAR3 beam is now delivered to users in a 'frequent fill' mode in which beam is injected into the storage ring, with beam-line shutters open, on a periodic schedule so that the beam current is kept constant to within 1% of its average value. This goal was achieved with the constraints of having the SPEAR3 injector run at very high reliability and ensuring that there would be no challenges to the beam containment system in this operational mode. This paper presents the accelerator development, the hardware changes, and the software developed to implement this operational mode. Show Partial Abstract
