Simulations indicate the removal of a scraper/collimator in the Sector 37 straight section (SS) of the Advanced Photon Source storage ring (SR) results in increased beam loss in the remaining narrow-gap, insertion device SS, ID4. Modeling with elegant provides loss distributions in the 5-mm aperture vacuum chamber of ID4 and includes the effects of rf system muting and quantum excitation in the bunch. The loss distributions are then used as input to a MARS model of the SS that includes undulator geometry. ID4 has been instrumented with additional monitoring to capture beam loss events, particularly beam dumps. Cerenkov detectors and fiber-optic cable bundles are used to capture temporal profiles of beam loss events. Beam dumps deliver 2600 J to the vacuum chamber and surrounding hardware including undulators. Data indicate a variety of temporal profiles occur during the beam dumps, with the shortest lasting 6 microseconds, FWHM (<2 turns). Such high power and power densities can lead to physical damage of vacuum components if not handled correctly. Touschek scattering loss is also a concern for undulator demagnetization. Comparison of modeling and measurements will be presented.

Efficient implementation of general-purpose particle tracking on GPUs can result in significant performance benefits to large-scale particle tracking and tracking-based accelerator optimization simulations. We present our work on CUDA kernels for transfer maps of single-particle-dynamics and collective-effects beamline elements, to be incorporated into a GPU-accelerated version of the ANL's accelerator code ELEGANT. In particular, we discuss techniques for efficient utilization of the device shared, cache, and local memory in the design of single-particle and collective-effects kernels. We also discuss the use of data-parallel and hardware-assisted approaches (segmented scan and atomic updates) for resolving memory contention issues at the charge deposition stage of algorithms for modeling collective effects. We present and discuss performance results for the CUDA kernels developed and optimized as part of this project.

Developments such as the low emittance NSLS-II storage ring, followed by the even lower emittance MAX-IV ring, demonstrate that the technology of storage ring light sources has not reached full maturity. Indeed, these new sources are paving the way toward realizing diffraction-limited angstrom-wavelength storage ring light sources in the not-too-distant future. Our discussion begins with a review of recent trends and developments in storage ring design. We then survey on-going work around the world to develop concepts and designs for so-called "ultimate" storage ring light sources.

Users of storage ring light sources generally rely on undulators to provide the highest brightness. Choice of the optimal undulator period is complicated by the fact that users do not operate at a single photon energy or place equal weight on operation at all photon energies of interest. In addition, some users may be best served by a double- or triple-period revolver device. In this paper, we present a method of narrowing the choice of undulator periods based on multi-objective techniques. Applications are shown in the context of the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade.

With the Tevatron now shut down and slated for decommissioning, it is only natural to think about other possible uses for the 6.3 km tunnel. Given that the brightness of electron storage rings naively scales as radius cubed, one exciting possibility is to build a so-called ultimate storage ring light source. This paper describes a somewhat speculative exploration of this idea, showing the potential for a storage ring x-ray source of unprecedented brightness.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) Project at Argonne will include generation of short-pulse x-rays based on Zholents’* deflecting cavity scheme. We have chosen superconducting (SC) cavities in order to have a continuous train of crabbed bunches and flexibility of operating modes. In collaboration with Jefferson Laboratory, we are prototyping and testing a number of single-cell deflecting cavities and associated auxiliary systems with promising initial results. In collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, we are working to develop state-of-the-art timing, synchronization, and differential rf phase stability systems that are required for SPX. Collaboration with Advanced Computations Department at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is looking into simulations of complex, multi-cavity geometries with lower- and higher-order modes waveguide dampers using ACE3P. This contribution provides the current R&D status of the SPX project.

The Advanced Photon Source is a 7-GeV hard x-ray synchrotron light source. The APS Upgrade specifies a short-pulse x-ray (SPX) as well as additional beamlines delivering higher brightness and flux. In order to achieve this goal we plan to use S-band superconducting cavities. The performance of such a system based on the zero-current simulation is well established; here, we included the effect of wakefields generated by the SPX system. While the SPX system is off, we are interested in how much current we can store in the single bunch, because the SPX contributes a significant amount of broadband impedance to the ring. With the SPX system on, we are interested in how much vertical emittance will increase, which in turn will enlarge the x-ray pulse length. We report the results of both cases when the SPX system is installed in the ring for the APS Upgrade.
