6. A 7 year Upgrade Programme was approved by the ESRF Council in December 2008

7. The ESRF Upgrade Programme…..
Beamline Upgrade
Development of Scientific Partnership
Extension of the building infrastructures
Accelerator System Upgrade
Replacement of klystron by solid state amplifiers
New HOM damped RF cavities suitable for 300 mA ring operation
New Orbit measurement and feedback system
…..

8. 224 Libera Brilliance since March 2009
10 Hz orbit acquisition
Bunch by bunch acquisition
10 kHz orbit driving DC-AC orbit correction
A major accelerator system, i.e. BPM electronics is now based on the same system all over the world.
It is important that the users of this Libera system exchange their experiences and trigger improvements and new developments.
