  The National Synchrotron Light Source II is a third generation light source under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The project includes a highly optimized 3 GeV electron storage ring, linac pre-injector and full-energy injector-synchrotron. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics build booster for NSLS-II. The booster should accelerate the electron beam continuously and reliably from a minimum 170 MeV injection energy to a maximum energy of 3.15 GeV and average beam current of 20 mA. The booster shall be capable of multi-bunch and single bunch operation. Pre-comissioning test results of booster components and system are reviewed.

  We discuss the current status and plans for developing the NSLS-II injector. The latter consists of a 200 MeV linac, a 3-GeV booster, transport lines and the storage ring injection straight section. The system design and installation are complete. Last year we concluded 200-MeV linac commissioning and are planning to commission the 3 GeV booster during summer of 2013.

The NSLS-II linac is a 200 MeV normal conducting linac procured as a turn key system from Research Instruments. The linac and associated transport lines were installed at BNL in the winter of 2012. Commissioning activities started March 26 and lasted for 2.5 months. In this report we discuss the successful commissioning results of the linac, issues encountered, and the remaining work that needs to be accomplished for NSLS-II booster commissioning.

Following the proposal of electron beam slicing method to generate short x-ray pulses in storage ring, we studied the feasibility of the crucial technique required by electron beam slicing, i.e., the generation of very low energy electron beam with very small beam size (30 μm) and very short bunch length (100 fs). Based on one of the BNL RF gun, 5 MeV beam energy and 50 pC bunch charge was assumed in the study. The beam ‘natural’ energy-time negative chirp, due to space charge effect, was used and the bunch length is compressed from from 0.8 ps to ~150 fs with a chicane structure. The system is in the space charge dominated regime. We use the code PARMELA and Generic optimization method for parameters optimization with various strategies to overcome the damaging from the space charge effect. After optimization, the beam transverse size is 50 micron and the bunch length is 150 fs, close to our original specification. In this paper we describe the design and the physical process in the compressor and focus section. The study confirmed the possibility to generate strong focused and compressed very low energy beam in the space charge dominated regime.

  The NSLS-II is a state of the art 3 GeV synchrotron light source under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Since 2012, the injector system gradually moves to the commissioning stage. It occurs after group people efforts on optics design, equipment specifications, construction and tests, assembly, installation and alignment. It is very important and exciting. To make the commissioning smooth and efficient, an important effort was put on the sub-system integration test to make sure the device function along with utility, timing system and control system, to calibrate diagnostics system and to debug high level application with simulated beam signals and required hardware. In this paper, we report our integration test experience and related control system software development.
