  The construction of a new 3 GeV synchrotron facility, Taiwan Photon Source, is ongoing. It is required to install stripline kickers to suppress instability generated by mismatch between injection kickers or imperfect installation of vacuum components all around. First, the design philosophy will be described for transverse stripline kickers. HFSS electromagnetic simulation software is used to optimize all structure parameters like electrode dimensions, electrode distance from vacuum chambers etc. to make transverse stripline kicker working more efficiently and effectively. All simulation results will be presented in this paper and all structure dimension choices will be discussed and the final prototype structure dimensions will be selected from the discussion.

  Laser PSD positioning system is a part of the TPS girder auto-alignment system and is designed for aligning and positioning the straight-section girders of TPS storage ring. Although the components of Laser PSD system are fabricated, assembling and adjusting precisely in advance, the accuracy of Laser PSD system is still influenced by girder fabricating quality, assembling errors and moving errors by transportation. For system correction, Laser beam positions on four sets of PSDs are formulized as an equation and calibrated with Laser tracker ultimately. According to the PSD calibration formula, the two girders of 18m long straight-section can be aligned and positioned within 20um by comparing with Laser tracker. This paper describes the assembly, installation and calibration process of Laser PSD system.

  Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) project has been proposed to create a 3GeV synchrotron light source. The designated ultra-low emittance of this new light source requires high precision positioning of storage ring magnets. The alignment of all magnets is very importance since it directly affects the closed orbit of electron beams. Previously, conventional on-site alignment of the magnets was mainly relying on the theodolite performance. The cumulated errors could be in the order of 0.1mm. In this paper, a new alignment scheme is proposed to enhance the on-site alignment of magnets for TPS project. To achieve the high precision requirements, a device possessing the advantages of expansion mandrel in conjunction with Position Sensing Detector (PSD) is proposed. The development of this alignment device is anticipated to provide a better mechanism to properly align the centers of the both quadrupole and sextupole magnets on girder with less than 30μm positioning errors.

  Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a new 3-GeV ring with characteristics of great brightness and small emittance, at present under construction at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) Taiwan. The positioning of the magnets is highly sensitive to alignment errors, and the entire building will be constructed half underground at depth 12 m relative to Taiwan Light Source (TLS) for stability reasons; for these reasons the survey and alignment work is confined and difficult. To position magnets precisely and quickly, a highly accurate auto-tuning girder system combined with a survey network was designed to accomplish the alignment tasks. The survey network includes a preliminary Global Positioning System (GPS) network and a laser tracking network. The position data from the survey network define a basis for the system of motorized girders to auto-tune and to improve the accuracy. The detailed survey and alignment design, installation process is described in this paper.

  This paper describes the DC current transformers (DCCT), designed and fabricated for Taiwan Photon Source (TPS); including the mechanical structure, dissimilar material welding process for the DCCT chamber, electronically and vacuum performance testing. In the structure, a ceramic break disc is provided and jointed between to ends of the beam duct. The electrical connection path is interrupted in the beam duct adjacent to the transformer. To avoid the sensor measured the wall current and other unnecessary circulating currents. The DCCT toroid is independent installed outside of a vacuum beam duct to measure the average beam current. In order to reduce the influence of external magnetic field for the sensor, two layers of Mu metal shell are installed. The performance and progress for the DCCT are described in this paper.

  A1050 is a common and soft material, widely used in everyday life. It is machinable and cheap, which makes it a candidate for a gasket material. In the case of sealing between disparate materials, treating the thermal expansion when the gasket suffers from baking is difficult. The clearance and the eccentricity between the gasket and the flange are also important; most leaks occur about 80 ~ 110 oC. The experimental apparatus comprised a vacuum chamber with six diamond-edge gaskets assembled, a turbo-molecular pump and an extractor gauge. The pre-baking torque for this gasket is 70 – 80 kg cm; the rates of both heating and cooling are less than 40 oC per hour. The gaskets are baked repeatedly under the same conditions excluding the target temperature set for baking. A1050 diamond gaskets work well after baking at 120 ~ 140 oC; at temperature 170 ~ 180 oC, leaks sometimes appear on cooling. This paper presents the baking results of A1050 diamond-edge gasket and explains the cause of leaking after baking above 150 oC.

  The masks, absorbers and slits must withstand the extremely high power and power density in the TPS front end. The material always used is OFHC or Glidcop. One solution is to increase the cooling efficiency of the water-cooled channel in these components. With the restrictions of water pressure < 7 kg/cm2 and water flow velocity < 3 m/s, the wire coil is chosen to enhance the average heat- transfer coefficient and increase not too much the loss of water pressure. With a water channel of diameter 7.5 mm and wire coil inserts of pitch 7.5 mm and wire diameter 1 mm, the cooling efficiency becomes enhanced 1.4 to 2 times in the components of the TPS front end. The wire coils of varied pitches are simulated and calculated in this work. We also compare our investigated data with other experimental data of other authors.

  For Taiwan Photon Source in NSRRC, the in-vacuum undulator (IU22) will be set in the straight section. The baking test took place in the NSRRC. The heating wires were welded on the outside wall of stainless chamber. The tape heaters were used for the sites without the heating wires. After acceptation test, we assemble the residual gas analysis (RGA) and extractor gauge in the IU22. The pumping down curve and RGA spectrum were recorded and investigated. It was found the slope of the pumping curve near 1 h is -0.99. When the temperature gradually increases to about 185 oC, the vacuum pressure arrives to about 8.7x10-5 Torr. The most gas source is from water before baking process. After baking test, the major residual gas includes H2, CH4, H2O, CO, and CO2. We analyze the RGA spectrum during the baking process and discuss in the paper.

  The vacuum systems for the 3 GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) have been constructed since 2010. Most of the vacuum components and equipments have been manufactured and delivered. For the electron storage ring (SR), all the 24 cells of 14 m aluminum vacuum systems have been welded and assembled. The vacuum baking for the cells in the laboratory was undergoing to achieve the ultrahigh vacuum pressure below 1×10-8 Pa. The vacuum systems accommodated with the insertion devices in the long straight sections have been designed and under manufacturing. For the booster (BR), all the stainless steel chambers including the 0.7 mm elliptical chambers, BPM ducts, and the pumping chambers, have been manufactured. The two transport lines: LTB for Linac to BR and BTS for BR to SR were manufactured. Vacuum chambers for BTS adopt the similar chambers for BR but will be baked to ultrahigh vacuum for connecting with SR without injection window. The beam ducts for LTB will be made of aluminum alloys. The construction works for TPS vacuum systems will be completed before April of 2013 while the installation of the systems in the TPS tunnel will be started immediately.

  TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) is a new 3-GeV synchrotron ring to be constructed at the NSRRC (National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center), Taiwan. There were hundreds of magnets that must be aligned on the absolute position to keep the electronic beam in the desire path while orbiting. Due to the problems of manpower, set up time, accuracy of adjustment, deformation of the floor, limited workspace and frequent earthquakes in Taiwan, an auto-alignment girder control system was designed to meet this requirement. The design and experiment of the auto-alignment system were tested successfully in the laboratory at NSRRC. The experiment of the auto-alignment control system would be implemented with half of the ring girders in the TPS. The detailed alignment design and status will be discussed in this paper.

  The maximum driving voltage of TPS booster extraction kicker is close to 30 kV, the HV insulation should be carefully noticed. A DC withstand voltage tester MUSASHI 3802 (Model: IP-701G) is used to test the DC breakdown voltage, which the maximum driving voltage is 37 kV. The 10 mm gap between coil and ferrite is designed in order to increase HV break down voltage. The safety breakdown distance between HV coil and grounding plate was tested in air. Different insulation material with different thickness was tested the breakdown voltage. Thicker than 10 mm ceramic plate could effectively avoid the breakdown occurred with 37 kV DC charging. Thus HV withstand voltage will be higher in vacuum chamber and the insulation with HV will not be the problem.
