||
Funding: The work was supported in part by the Italian Ministry of University and Research under grants FIRB-RBAP045JF2 and FIRB-RBAP06AWK3 FERMI@Elettra is a seeded FEL user facility under construction at Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy. The linac is based on S-band normal conducting technology. It will use the accelerating sections of the original Elettra linac injector, seven sections received from CERN after LIL decommissioning and two additional sections to be constructed for a total number of 18 S-band accelerating structures. Installation of the machine is presently being carried on. This paper will provide a summary of the requirements of the different parts of the S-band RF system and of the options for a possible upgrade path both in energy and reliability. The ongoing activities on the main subassemblies, in particular regarding the tests and the installation work, are also presented. |
