  One cell of the Diamond Light Source (Diamond) storage ring was upgraded in late 2016 to a Double Double Bend Achromat (DDBA) configuration to provide an additional mid-achromat insertion device straight. For practical reasons it was decided to use discrete non-evaporable getter (NEG) pumps rather than NEG coatings. This paper outlines the vacuum design of the up-grade, the reasons for the choices made and the vacuum simulation tools used as well as describing the vacuum system engineering, assembly, installation and commissioning. The measured vacuum performance is found to be in close agreement with the simulations and a simple expression is derived for the beam gas lifetime.

  Failure of a superconducting cavity in the Diamond storage ring can lead to extended down-time because of the time required to remove the module from the ring, the inability to access the cavity without removal from the cryostat and the long time to repair of the module. To reduce the risk to storage ring operation, normal conducting cavities are being installed to support operation of the superconducting cavities. Two cavities will be introduced in 2017 and work is progressing with RF amplifiers, transmission lines and low-level RF as well as storage ring engineering and controls. A summary of progress so far is presented and the plan for installation and further RF upgrades is outlined.
