Abstract
The radio frequency (RF) system is one of the core components of a particle accelerator, providing the energy required to accelerate particles. The Low-Level RF (LLRF) system is responsible for controlling the phase and amplitude of the accelerating field. Compared to analog LLRF systems, digital LLRF systems offer better noise suppression, greater flexibility and extensibility. Therefore, at the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), we developed and implemented digital LLRF systems for both the booster and storage ring RF systems. The booster's digital LLRF system has been in operation since 2018, while the storage ring's system was commissioned in 2024. This paper describes the design, implementation, and operational experience of the digital LLRF system at TPS.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
