Synchrotron RF Working Group

SIS18 and ESR Operation

The Synchrotron RF Working Group is responsible for maintenance, operation and optimization of the SIS18 and ESR accelerating cavities, the corresponding RF power amplifiers and supply units and the low-level RF systems.

Projects

In addition to the operation of the SIS18 and ESR cavities, the Synchrotron RF Working Group is responsible for a variety of new projects. Some of these projects are listed in the following:

• SIS18 Bunch Compressor System
• Digital RF Control
• Bunch Phase Timing System BuTiS
• SIS18 h=2 Cavity for Dual Harmonic Acceleration (EU FP6 Construction Program)
• Longitudinal Feedback System (EU FP6 Design Program)
• Fast Semiconductor Gap Switches (EU FP6 Design Program)
