Abstract

The linear accelerator (linac) in the Advanced Light Source (ALS) is designed to provide either single or multiple bunches of 50 MeV electrons for the booster synchrotron. The design and operation of the low power RF system for the ALS linac are presented. Three cavities are used in the linac for electron bunching. The two subharmonic bunching cavities operate at 124.914 MHz and 499.654 MHz, respectively. The S-band buncher operates at 2.997924 GHz. The low level RF system includes a master signal source, RF burst generators, signal phase control, timing trigger generators and a water temperature control system.<>
