Summary
- This is a landing page for ALS Low Level RF System Requirements
- Derived implementation requirements can be found in the child pages and the hardware pages:
- An upgrade is currently in progress for the Sub Harmonic Bunchers and the LINAC controllers
- LINAC is 1us, buncher is 30 us
- The pulse repetition rate is 0.7 Hz.
- Right now the LINAC pre-amp is saturated
