Diamond Light Source Ltd awarded a contract to RI Research Instruments GmbH for the supply of four or five additional HOM-damped normal-conducting RF cavities required for the Diamond-II storage ring upgrade.

The 3.5 GeV beam in the Diamond-II storage ring will be maintained by seven or eight RF cavities of a normal-conducting design with damped Higher Order Modes (HOMs), similar to those installed at the ALBA light source in Barcelona and the BESSY and MLS storage rings in Berlin.

Three HOM-damped normal-conducting cavities are already installed in the storage ring.

The contract value is £3,050,885.44.
