  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.

  Diamond Light Source is investigating the possibility of increasing the storage ring operating current above the nominal 300 mA. A campaign of measurements and simulations has been carried out in order to understand the extent of the parasitic energy loss and characterise the most important items which build up the machine impedance. In this paper we report on the most recent measurements of the longitudinal loss factor and the present status of the impedance database with an initial comparison between the two.
