   Abstract:
   A boost­er-in­jec­tor syn­chrotron has been re­cent­ly built and com­mis­sioned at Duke Uni­ver­si­ty to pro­vide for the top-off in­jec­tion into the stor­age ring in the en­er­gy range of 0.24 - 1.2 GeV. Boost­er in­jec­tion kick­er was de­signed with a pulse length of 18 out of 19 boost­er sep­a­ra­trix­es, as­sum­ing a long train of elec­tron bunch­es to be in­ject­ed from the ex­ist­ing linac. Such scheme re­quired a major linac up­grade from sin­gle bunch photo emis­sion mode to a multi­bunch thermion­ic mode. A major dis­ad­van­tage of the lat­ter was much high­er ra­di­a­tion lev­els in the fa­cil­i­ty. Since com­mis­sion­ing, the boost­er could only op­er­ate with one or two bunch­es lim­it­ed by both long kick­er pulse and sin­gle bunch in­jec­tion from the linac. The con­se­quent lim­i­ta­tion of the in­jec­tion rate re­strict­ed the ca­pa­bil­i­ty of pro­duc­tion of the Comp­ton gamma rays in the loss mode, i.e. pro­duc­tion of gam­mas with en­er­gy above 20-25 MeV, to about 5*108 pho­tons per sec. Up­date of the linac for the rep­e­ti­tion rate of up to 10 Hz, and mod­i­fi­ca­tion of the in­jec­tion kick­er for 15 nS pulse length al­lowed us to de­vel­oped an al­ter­na­tive multi­bunch in­jec­tion scheme with a sig­nif­i­cant in­crease of the in­jec­tion rate into stor­age ring.
