Abstract :
The PLS 2-GeV electron linac at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) has been constructed as a full energy injector to the storage ring of the Pohang Light Source (PLS) project. The 150-m long linac uses 11 klystrons of 80-MW maximum output power driven by 200-MW modulators. There are 42 constant gradient acceleration sections and 6 quadrupole triplets. By December 10, 1993, we completed the linac installation with the beam analyzing station and the beam transport line to the beam dump of 30-m long. We completed the machine commissioning by June 30, 1994. Since September 1, 1994, it provides 2-GeV beams to the PLS storage ring for its commissioning, which is also completed by December 24, 1994 with 300-mA stored current. In this paper, we present the operational experience of the PLS 2-GeV linac
