	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The NSLS-II linac is produced by Research Instruments and will be commissioned in the spring of 2012. As part of the procurement, the linac front end consisting of the gun, prebunching cavity, and diagnostics was delivered early to BNL for testing. We designed a short beamline to supplement the Front End diagnostics to characterize the beam. These tests were instrumental in demonstrating the functioning of the gun, pinpointing technical problems at an early project stage and gaining experience with the linac gun by BNL staff prior to commissioning of the full linac. In this report we show the results of the tests, including charge, bunch length, and transverse emittance measurements and compare them with the relevant linac specifications.

MOPPP060	Top-Off Mode of Operations: Setting Limits on the Extracted Beam Energy by Constraining Currents of Multiple Booster Dipole Power Supplies.	696
	T.V. Shaftan BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	In preparation for top-off mode of the NSLS-II operations we have studied impact of errors in the dipole power supply current on the extracted beam energy, which has to be interlocked so to satisfy the safety requirements. The NSLS-II booster dipole circuits are combined into 3 independent PS circuits, which adds complexity to the analysis of the extracted beam energy limits.

MOPPR092	SVD-BASED METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF BEAM PARAMETERS AND FLAG RESOLUTION	999
	G.M. Wang, R.P. Fliller, I. Pinayev, T.V. Shaftan BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	In NSLS II booster to storage ring transport line, the typical beam size in vertical plane is ~60 μm, which requires very high flag resolution to get good beam parameters measurement. This paper describes a new SVD-based method to measure transverse beam parameters and flag resolution simultaneously with double quads scan. Implementation simulations of the proposed method are performed for a dispersion free region in the NSLS-II booster to storage ring transport line. With this method, it breaks the limitation of beam parameters measurement accuracy duo to the flag resolution.

	The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a state-of-the-art 3-GeV third generation light source currently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The first part of the Linac to Booster Transport (LBT) line has been installed for the linac commissioning. This part will be used for the linac acceptance test. In this paper, we describe the preparation of the LBT sub-system integration test and the high level applications.

The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a state-of-the-art 3-GeV third generation light source currently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The NSLS-II injection system consists of a 200 MeV linac, a 3-GeV booster synchrotron and associated transfer lines. The first part of the Linac to Booster Transport (LBT) line has been installed for linac commissioning. This part includes all components necessary to commission the NSLS-II linac. The second part of this transport line is undergoing installation. Initial results of hardware commissioning will be discussed. The Booster to Storage Ring (BSR) transport line underwent a design review. The first part of the BSR transport line, consisting of all components necessary to commission the booster will be installed in 2012 for booster commissioning. We report on the final design of the BSR line along with the plan to commission the booster.

THEPPB008	Inverse Compton Scattering Experiment in a Bunch Train Regime Using Nonlinear Optical Cavity	3245

	Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) is a promising approach towards achieving high intensity, directional beams of quasi-monochromatic gammas, which could offer unique capabilities in research, medical and security applications. Practicality implementation of ICS sources, however, depends on the ability to achieve high peak brightness (~0.1-1.0 ICS photons per interacting electron), while increasing electron-laser beam interaction rate to about 10,000 cps. We discuss the results of the initial experimental work at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at BNL to demonstrate ICS interaction in a pulse-train regime, using a novel laser recirculation scheme termed Recirculation Injection by Nonlinear Gating (RING). Initial experimental results and outlook are presented.
