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.

Here we propose to use the APEX photo-gun as novel source for time-resolved electron diffraction studies. The electron source has been designed, built and successfully tested at LBNL. It combines a high accelerating field needed for bright beams, MeV electron energy essential for time resolution in gas-phase experiments and studies of bulk processes, together with continuous (CW) operations. Ultra-short electron pulses can be delivered with a maximum repetition rate of 186 MHz, enabling new science to be studied. We report the design of a dedicated electron diffraction beamline that fits in the space constraints of the APEX tunnel. Simulations of beam properties have been carried out with a genetic optimizer, showing 100 fs time resolution. Beam jitters in energy, time and position are currently being characterized, and a mitigation strategy via fast feedback loops is discussed.
