The Advanced Photon Source is a 7-GeV hard x-ray synchrotron light source. Operation for users is delivered at a nominal current of 100 mA in one of three bunch patterns. The APS Upgrade calls for a minimum planned operating current of 150 mA, with an option to deliver beam up to 200 mA. The high-current threshold in the storage ring has been explored, and storage ring components have been identified that either drive collective instabilities or are subjected to excessive beam-drive higher-order-mode (HOM) heating. In this paper, we describe machine studies at 150 mA in a special lattice that simulates the upgraded APS. We also describe the accelerator upgrades that are required to accommodate 200-mA operation, as well as the ongoing machine studies plan. |
