Title :
Commissioning experiences of the ALS booster synchrotron
Author_Institution :
Lawrence Berkeley Lab., CA, USA
Abstract :
Installation of the ALS (Advanced Light Source) booster synchrotron proper was completed on April 30, 1991, and commissioning has just begun. A circulating beam around the booster was observed on the first day of operation, May 3, 1991. The beam was visible for about 400 turns. The status and commissioning experience of the 1.5-GeV electron synchrotron accelerator are described.<>
