The Brookhaven 200 MeV linac serves as the injector for the AGS Booster, as well as delivering beam to the Biomedical Isotope Resource Center. During the past year, many linac systems have been upgraded to allow operation at 2.5 times higher average current (150 {mu}A). This was achieved by an increase in rep-rate from 5 to 7.5 Hz, an increase in beam current from 25 mA to 37 mA, and a slight increase in pulse width to {approximately}530 {mu}s. Additional upgrades were made to improve reliability and modernize old systems. This paper describes improvements made in the 35 keV and 750 keV beam transport, 200 MeV beam transport, rf transmission line, rf power supplies, control systems, and instrumentation.
