Status of the Injection System for the Australian Synchrotron Project

DANFYSIK A/S is building the injection system for the Australian Synchrotron Project [1]. It consists of a 100-MeV LINAC, a low energy beam beamline, a full energy booster synchrotron and a transfer beamline to the storage ring. The current accelerated to the maximum of 3 GeV will be in excess of 0.5 and 5 mA for single-and multi-bunch-mode, respectively. The lattice is designed with many cells consisting of combined-function magnets (dipole, quadrupole and sextupole fields) in order to reach a very small emittance of around 30 nm. In the present contribution, the status of the project and some of the components will be given. Details about some beam dynamics aspects of the booster will be presented in a separate contribution [2].
