  The frequent injection and high current operation of SPEAR 3 storage ring requires high stability of the injector system at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL). The lattice of linac-to-booster (LTB) transport line was not well understood and controlled prior to this work. In this paper, we discuss the significant efforts that have been made to improve the performance of the LTB. A method to correct the distortion of the closed orbit in the booster by moving 2 quadrupoles is also presented.

SPEAR3 beam is now delivered to users in a "frequent fill" mode in which beam is injected into the storage ring, with beam-line shutters open, on a periodic schedule so that the beam current is kept constant to within 1% of its average value. This goal was achieved with the constraints of having the SPEAR3 injector run at very high reliability and ensuring that there would be no challenges to the beam containment system in this operational mode. This paper presents the accelerator development, the hardware changes, and the software developed to implement this operational mode.

The SLAC Beam Physics group and collaborators continue to study options for implementing a near diffraction-limited ring-based light source in the 2.2-km PEP-II tunnel that will serve the SSRL scientific program in the future. The study team has completed the baseline design for a 4.5-GeV storage ring having 160-pm-rad emittance with stored beam current of 1.5 A, providing >1022 brightness for multi-keV photon beams from 3.5-m undulator sources. The team is now investigating possible 5-GeV ERL configurations which, similar to the Cornell and KEK ERL plans, would have ~30 pm-rad emittance with 100 mA current, and ~10 pm-rad emittance with 25 mA or less. In the next year, a diffraction-limited storage ring using on-axis injection in order to reach 30 pm-rad or less emittance will be investigated. An overview of the PEP-X design study and SSRL’s plans for defining the performance parameters that will guide the choice of implementation options is presented.
