Sumario:To increase the radiation energy of CERN's 28 GeV proton synchrotron, a new RF system had to be developed with extensive measuring and control equipment, as well as wide-band amplifiers, cavities and a number of new components. The protons have to be accelerated through a potential difference of 28*10/sup 9/ V to reach the final energy of 28 GeV. This is only possible using an RF system, since DC voltage fields of the required magnitude present isolation problems to which no technical solution can be found. (0 refs).
