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
