Commissioning Status of the Kekb Linac
نویسنده
چکیده
After entering into the full-commissioning phase of the KEKB linac in May, 1998, we have established two linac injection modes for the KEKB ring: an 8-GeV electron beam and a 3.5-GeV positron beam, as well as beam modes for the rings of the synchrotron light sources. All modes are easily switched for almost one minute without any trouble. The linac beam characteristics have been substantially improved by introducing several fine-tuning procedures, while key features concerning stable operation have been pursued by employing, for instance, energy-feedback loops. We report on the present status of the linac commissioning while especially emphasising the operational characteristics.

Towards Reliable Acceleration of High-energy and High-intensity Electron Beams
The KEK electron linac was upgraded to 8 GeV for the KEK B-Factory (KEKB) project. During commissioning of the upgraded linac, even while continuing SOR ring injections, we had achieved a primary electron beam with 10-nC (6:24 10) per bunch up to 3.7-GeV for positron generation. This could be classified as one of the brightest S-band linac’s. Since the KEKB rings were completed in December 1998...
متن کاملThe Kekb Bucket Selection System - Recent Progress and the Plan in the near Future
The KEKB bucket selection system, which enables us to realize a variety of bunch fill-patterns in the KEKB rings, has been working well since the start of the commissioning of KEKB in Dec. 1998. Although the hardware of the system has not changed since the start of the machineoperation, its software is continuously evolving, in order to meet the requirements from the view-point of more sophisti...
متن کاملStatus and schedule of SuperKEKB
SuperKEKB, which is an upgrade of the KEKB B-factory (KEKB), is a next-generation high-luminosity electron-positron collider with asymmetric energies of 7 GeV (e-) and 4 GeV (e+). Its design luminosity is 8.0 × 10 35 cm-2 s-1 , which is about 40 times than the KEKB's record, and it is expected that the total integrated luminosity will reach 50 ab-1 just over ten years after inauguration. To ach...
متن کاملBeam Switching and Beam Feedback Systems at Kekb Linac
The KEK 8-GeV electron / 3.5-GeV positron linac has been operated with very different beam specifications for downstream rings, KEKB, PF and PF-AR. For the reliable operation among these beam modes, intelligent beam switching and beam feedback systems have been developed and used since its commissioning. A software panel is used to choose one of four beam modes and a switching sequence is execu...
