  The Australian Synchrotron light source has recently put in operation its transverse bunch-by-bunch feedback system during user beam mode. Getting to the stage of stable operation has been a long road and this paper will outline the many difficulties that were encountered. Chief among these are the apparent strong, high frequency, vertical resonances that appear when the storage ring's three in-vacuum undulators are closed to specific gaps. The behaviour of these resonances and their effects on achieving stable feedback operation will be explored in detail.

  The electron beam size as measured using synchrotron light in a circular accelerator is influenced by the incoherent depth of field effect. This effect comes about due to the instantaneous opening angle of the emitted synchrotron radiation (SR) and the acceptance angle of the SR light monitor beamline. Measurements were made using a visible light interferometer at the visible light beamlines in three circular accelerators at ATF, SPEAR3 and AS. The first order spatial coherence of the beam was measured and from that the horizontal beam size was calculated. The data is compared with a theory of synchrotron radiation with and without the horizontal incoherent field depth effect.

  A new injector is being planned for the Australian Synchrotron that is designed to feed both an upgraded storage ring and an XFEL. The desire to fit the AXXS project on the same site as the existing light source presents several layout difficulties. Several options are studied and simulations are performed to check the impact each choice has on the beam performance.

  Different types of electron bunch compression schemes are compared for the AXXS FEL design study. The main linac for the proposed machine is based on CLIC x-band structures. This choice leaves several options for the bunch compression schemes which impact the injection system RF band. Both harmonic linearization and phase modulation linearization are considered and their relative strengths and weaknesses compared. Simulations were performed to compare the performance of an s-band injector with a higher harmonic RF linearization and an x-band injector. One motivation for the study is to optimise the length of the AXXS machine, allowing the linac to fit onto the proposed and also act as the injector to the existing storage ring at the Australian Synchrotron.

  Schwinger's equations predict the angular- and spectral distribution of synchrotron radiation across a wide band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Using a visible-light diagnostic beam line, it is possible to characterize the electric field polarization state as a function of vertical observation angle and compare with theory. Complications include accounting for - and π-mode transmission factors at mirror surfaces and precise alignment of the polarizing optics with the principle beam axes. The Stokes parameters are measured and beam polarization ellipse reported.
