Continuing to reduce ISIS energy use through a further RF upgrade

The project to update the radio frequency cavities in the synchrotron is now progressing through its second stage. In the ISIS synchrotron, the protons are accelerated using radio frequency (RF) cavities. Six of these, the fundamental cavities, produce the overall 'strength' of the voltage, with the remaining four modifying the 'shape' of the voltage to maximise the total number of protons that can be satisfactorily contained within the synchrotron.
