  Since its first introduction in April 2009, the low alpha operational mode has been continually refined in order to best meet the needs of the user community. Initially the optics were used only to generate short x-ray pulses, for which a stable, low emittance, single bunch was requested, with the emphasis placed on increased bunch charge over shortest absolute pulse duration. More recently, the optics have been adapted to enhance the CSR gain in the THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this paper we summarise the work carried out in order to meet these two demands.

  In a synchrotron radiation light source, a reduction in vertical emittance can potentially increase the source brightness, reduce the spot size for microfocus beam lines or increase the vertical transverse coherence of the photon beam. With this aim, the target vertical emittance for the Diamond storage ring has been recently reduced from 27pm.rad to 8pm.rad (0.3% coupling). In this paper we discuss the main impacts of this reduction, along with the steps that have been taken to stabilise the coupling at the new value.

  The conceptual design of CLARA, a novel FEL test facility focussed on the generation of ultrashort photon pulses with extreme levels of stability and synchronisation is described. The ultimate aim of CLARA is to experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, that sub-coherence length pulse generation with FELs is viable. The results will translate directly to existing and future X-Ray FELs, enabling them to generate attosecond pulses, thereby extending the science capabilities of these intense light sources. This paper will describe the design of CLARA, pointing out the flexible features that will be incorporated to allow multiple novel FEL schemes to be proven.

  Diamond plans to operate a 5 m, long period length, APPLE undulator in a long insertion straight section. Theoretical investigations showed a severe impact on machine dynamics especially when the device is operated in vertical polarization mode. The use of local optics corrections and/or lowering of beta functions were initially investigated as possible solutions but with limited success. Active shimming of dynamic multipoles, following the approach at BESSY-II, proved more effective. The optimum shiming has been devised using kick map approach. In this paper we review the theoretical analysis, the commissioning of the active shims and the undulator, and the net effect of the undulator after compensation.
