TI - Diagnosing NSLS-II: A New Advanced Synchrotron Light Source J2 - Proc. of IBIC2014 AB - NSLS-II, the successor to NSLS (National Synchrotron Light Source) at Brookhaven National Lab, is scheduled to be open to users worldwide by 2015 as a world-class advanced synchrotron light source because of its unique features: its half-mile-circumference (792 m) Storage Ring provides the highest beam intensity (500 mA) at medium-energy (3 GeV) with sub-nm-rad horizontal emittance (down to 0.5 nm -rad) and diffraction-limited vertical emittance at a wavelength of 1 Å (<8 pm-rad). As the eyes of NSLS-II accelerators to observe fascinating particle beams, beam diagnostics and controls systems are designed to monitor and diagnose the electron beam quality so that NSLS-II could be tuned up to reach its highest performance. The design and implementation of NSLS-II diagnostics and controls are described. Preliminary commissioning results of NSLS-II accelerators, including Linac, Booster, and Storage Ring, are presented.
