Fast kicker systems are required for the proposed upgrade of ALS to a diffraction-limited light source (ALS-U). The main approach is to have multiple stripline kicker magnets driven by inductive adders. The design details of the kicker structures and the inductive adder options will be discussed.

The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab has been updated many times and remains as one of the brightest sources for soft x-rays worldwide. However, recent developments in technology, accelerator physics and simulation techniques open the door to much larger future brightness improvements. Similar to proposals at several other 3rd generation sources, this could be achieved by reducing the horizontal emittance with a new ring based on a multi-bend achromat lattice, reusing the existing tunnel, as well as much of the infrastructure and beamlines. After studying candidate lattice designs, development efforts in the last year have concentrated on technology and physics challenges in four main areas: Injection, Vacuum Systems, Magnets and Insertion Devices, as well as main and harmonic RF systems.

The Advanced Photo-injector EXperiment (APEX) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), consists in the development of an injector designed to demonstrate the capability of the VHF gun, a normal conducting 186 MHz RF gun operating in CW mode, to deliver the brightness required by X-ray FEL applications at MHz repetition rate. APEX is organized in 3 main phases where different aspects of the required performance are gradually demonstrated. The status and future plans for the project are presented.

The APEX electron source at LBNL combines high-repetition-rate and high beam brightness typical of photo-guns, delivering low emittance electron pulses at MHz frequency. Proving the high beam quality of the beam is an essential step for the success of the experiment. It would enable high repetition rate operations for brightness-hungry applications such as X-Ray FELs, and MHz ultrafast electron diffraction. A full 6D characterization of the beam phase space at the gun beam energy (750 keV) is foreseen in the first phase of the project. Diagnostics for low and high current measurements have been installed and tested, measuring the performances of different cathode materials in a RF environment with mA average current. A double-slit system allows the characterization of beam emittance at high charge and full current (mA). An rf deflecting cavity and a high precision spectrometer allow the characterization of the longitudinal phase space. Here we present the latest results at low and high repetition rate, discussing the tools and techniques used.

We present the expanded system architecture in development for the control of intra-bunch instabilities in the SPS. Earlier efforts concentrated on validating the performance of a single-bunch demonstration processor. This minimal system was successfully commissioned at the SPS just prior to the LS1 shutdown. The architecture is now in expansion for more complex functionality, specifically multi-bunch control, control during energy ramps, and the expansion of the system front-end dynamic range with more sophisticated orbit offset techniques. Two designs of wideband kicker are being developed for installation and evaluation with the beam. With these GHz bandwidth devices and new RF amplifiers we anticipate being able to excite and control internal motion of the beam consistent with modes expected for Ecloud and TMCI effects. We highlight the expanded features, and present strategies for verifying the behavior of the beam-feedback system in the next series of machine measurements planned after the LS1 shutdown.

In order for the SPS to meet the beam intensity demands for the HL-LHC upgrade, control and mitigation of transverse beam instabilities caused by electron cloud and TMCI will be essential. For this purpose a wideband intra-bunch feedback method has been proposed, based on a 4 GS/s front end data acquisition and processing, and on a back end frequency response extending to at least 1 GHz. A slotted type kicker, similar to those used for stochastic cooling, as well as an array of stripline kickers have been considered as the terminal elements of the feedback system. A slotted TEM type kicker has been designed fulfilling the bandwidth and kick strength requirements for the SPS application. In this paper we present an updated version of the design and electromagnetic characteristics, leading into the mechanical design and construction of the kicker occurring later this year.

The ALS-II proposal consists in the upgrade of the existing Advanced Light Source at LBNL to a new ultra-low emittance lattice for production of diffraction-limited soft x-rays. In order to compensate for the reduced beam lifetime we intend to operate the machine in continuous top-off mode, where one of several bunch trains is extracted every 30-60 seconds and swapped with a fresh train from the accumulator ring, which is injected on axis without perturbing the circulating beam. In this paper we present a possible design for the injection/extraction kicker based on matched stripline electrodes. The main parameters of such a kicker are discussed in reference to the minimum gap between trains, the storage ring lattice, and the characteristics of a suitable pulser. We also present results from 3D electromagnetic modeling of the proposed kicker performed to evaluate its rise and fall time and field uniformity characteristics.
