  NSLS-II is a state-of-the-art third-generation light source under construction at BNL. As many facilities worldwide, NSLS II uses the EPICS control system to monitor and control all accelerator hardware. CSS is used for simple tasks such as monitoring, display, setting of PVs and browsing the historical data. For more complex accelerator physics applications, a collection of scripts are mainly written in Python. The controls group developed the services, such as channel finder, machine snapshot, data archiving, twiss server, unit conversion etc. This paper will present the tools that we have been using for commissioning.

  We discuss Lambertson and Shafer formalisms for the longitudinal and transverse beam impedances of a stripline. The required characteristic impedances and the geometric factors are determined by the solution of Laplace’s equation in 2-dimensions, which we find using the 2-D POISSON code. Lambertson’s equations are compared with numerical results obtained using the 3-D electromagnetic simulation code GdfidL. Good agreement is found at low frequencies. The results differ at high frequencies, since the analytic results do not take into account the existence of higher-order modes (HOM’s) in structures with and without smooth transitions. We then present a discussion of the stripline kicker being built for the bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback system for the NSLS-II storage ring.

The NSLS-II project includes a 3GeV beam that would have to be maintained and supplied through the injection system which would operate in top-off mode with minimum disturbance to the storage ring. The Diagnostic group at NSLS-II designed, prototyped and tested the Faraday’s cup and dump that would be used at three locations in the Linac and booster area. Power density calculations and FEA simulations were carried out on the dump for the 200 MeV maximum power dumped. The Faraday’s cup was also tested to characterize its operation for the 200 MeV Linac.
