The KEK booster synchrotron is a rapid-cycling machine with a repetition rate of 20 Hz. The rf system was designed for accelerating the proton beam injected at 20 MeV up to its final energy of 500 MeV. The booster succeeded in accelerating 8 x 10/sup 10/ protons/pulse to the designed energy on Dec. 12, 1974. Since then the beam intensity was steadily increased to 5.7 x 10/sup 11/ protons/pulse with adjustments and improvements of the machine components, especially of the rf system. An outline of the rf system and the present status of its operation are presented. Main parameters characterizing the rf system are listed, and accelerating parameters and the estimated beam characteristics are shown.
