The ESRF injection complex, comprising a 200MeV linac, a booster accelerator with a top energy of 6GeV and two transfer lines, has been routinely injecting beam to the storage ring since the beginning of its operation. The newly implemented injection with ‘‘front-end open'' triggered several operational improvements in order to maximise the reliability of the complex. A series of diagnostics (sychnotron light monitors, striplines, fast current transformers) were implemented allowing the measurement and monitoring of several components of the injected beam. New optics models were constructed and several application systems as the closed orbit correction or tune measurements have been upgraded. The operational procedures of injection at 100MeV in the booster and the injection efficiency maximisation were renewed and improved. Further developments for the uninterrupted operation of the storage ring during injection, such as the bunch cleaning in the booster were successfully tested.

The measurement of gas pressure inside long, small cross section, vacuum vessels is difficult due to the distance between the centre of the vacuum vessel and vacuum gauges (leading to a low vacuum conductance). Following initial chamber installation, significant out-gassing is observed leading to a significant pressure bump within the chamber. A modified beam loss detector has been developed in order to monitor the gamma radiation produced by the collision of the 6GeV electrons in the storage ring with residual gas atoms. The narrow beam of gamma radiation is intercepted at various points by high Z materials in the beam line front-end allowing a radiation shower to be detected outside the vacuum vessel proportional to the gas pressure in the corresponding storage ring straight section. Various locations are considerred and results shown.
