====Injection system====

The injection system consists of a 250 MeV LINAC, a low energy transfer line, a 2.9 GeV booster synchrotron and a high energy transfer line.<ref name="Injection">{{cite web | url=http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/accelconf/e04/papers/thpkf008.pdf| title=Injection system for the Canadian Light Source | year=2004 | accessdate=7 July 2012}}</ref> The LINAC was operated for over 30 years as part of the Saskatchewan Accelerator Lab<ref name="update 2001">{{cite journal | url=http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/accelconf/e04/papers/thpkf008.pdf|title=The Canadian Light Source: an update |journal=19th Particle Accelerator Conference (Pac 2001) |pages=2680 | year=2001 | accessdate=7 July 2012|bibcode=2001pac..conf.2680B |last1=Blomqvist |first1=I. |last2=Dallin |first2=L. |last3=Hallin |first3=E. |last4=Lowe |first4=D. |last5=Silzer |first5=R. |last6=De Jong |first6=M. }}</ref> and operates at 2856&nbsp;MHz. The 78m low energy transfer line takes the electrons from the below-ground LINAC to the ground level booster in the newer CLS building, via two vertical chicanes. The full energy 2.9 GeV booster, chosen to give high orbit stability in the storage ring, operates at 1&nbsp;Hz, with an RF frequency of 500&nbsp;MHz, unsynchronised with the LINAC. This results in significant beam loss at the extraction energy.<ref name="Injection"/>
