Analysis of the White Circuit System of the NSRRC TLS Booster

Abstract

At the Taiwan Light Source (TLS), the booster ring provides energy injection at repetition frequency 10 Hz with injection capability in the top-up mode. To obtain the wide acceleration energy range 50 -- 1.5 GeV, a 'White-circuit' topology has been chosen. The White circuit is, briefly, a biased resonant circuit in which the energy is transferred between the booster bending magnets and a large capacitor bank. The White circuit uses a resonance axiom to ramp the current of the bending magnets. The peak current is 2300 A; the bending magnets can accelerate the energy of the booster electron beam current from 50 MeV to 1.5 GeV with the White circuit system. We analyze the characteristic of the White circuit to get a circuit model. Using the circuit model to simulate impedance and phase are identical with the measurement data of the White circuit. The results are described in this paper.
