Operation of SRF in the Storage Ring of SSRF

The superconducting RF system has been operated successfully in the storage ring of SSRF since July, 2008. The superconducting RF modules integrated with 310 kW transmitters and digital low level radio frequency (LLRF) control are adopted to provide about 4.5 MV cavity voltages to 3.5GeV electron beam. The operation status of SRF system is mainly reported here, the problems we met are analyzed, and the operation with normal conducting cavity systems is introduced briefly. The challenge for us is to improve the system reliability and machine performance.
