Improvements on the booster magnet power converters at Elettra

Full Energy Booster injectors for Storage rings are complex systems and somewhat reduced versions of the ring itself. They provide accelerated electrons that usually have the same energy of the storage ring accumulated beam. Power converters used to deflect, focus and defocus the electron beam in the booster must carefully follow a waveform both in time and in current values, as it is mandatory to get the electrons accelerated at the right energy to be further injected in the storage ring. A highly reliable, precise and repeatable power converter is needed to operate correctly on the beam and get a well-defined and stable orbit during the acceleration phase.
