The Australian Synchrotron Light Source has been operating successfully since 2007 and in top-up mode since 2012 while gradually being upgraded to reach an excellent beam availability exceeding 99 %. Considering the ageing of the equipment, effort is required in order to maintain the reliability at this level. The proposed upgrade of the linac with a SLED cavity has been chosen to mitigate the risks of single point of failure and lack of spare parts. The linac is normally fed from two independent 35 MW pulsed klystrons to reach 100 MeV beam energy and can be operated in single (SBM) or multi-bunch mode (MBM). The SLED cavity upgrade will allow remote selection of single klystron operation in SMB and possibly limited MBM without degradation of beam energy and reduce down time in case of a klystron failure. The proposal for the SLED cavity upgrade is shown and the linac designs are detailed.

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.
