	Funding: This work is supported by U.S. D.O.E. Contract number DE-SC0006287 Many advanced accelerator concepts require the co-propagation and interaction of the electron with a laser (e.g., laser-plasma accelerators, inverse Compton scattering, laser heaters, and electron beam diagnostics with laser light). The strict requirements on beam properties necessitate numerical modeling to fully understand the complexities of the beam dynamics. Laser-specific simulations often require a different set of modeling tools. This has resulted in a hodgepodge approach, where the output of one program must be inputted into another. This paper presents the Radtrack software highlights, which aims to simplify these issues by uniting key software components under an intuitive graphical interface while addressing key problems relevant in the accelerator community.

	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.

TUPMA07	Future Upgrades of the NSLS-II Injector	601
	T.V. Shaftan, R.P. Fliller, R. Heese, J. Rose, G.M. Wang, F.J. Willeke BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	In 2013 the NSLS-II injector, which consists of 200 MeV linac, 3 GeV booster, transport lines and storage ring injection straight section, will be entering operations. While building the NSLS-II injection system we invested substantial efforts in developing and preserving options for future upgrades and enchancements. In this paper we discuss the potential of incremental evolution of the NSLS-II injector performance by enabling upgrade options, such as the second gun, flexible bunch patterns, beam stacking in the booster, emittance compensation techniques in the transport lines, etc. These upgrades will expand capabilites of the NSLS-II facility and increase operational reliability.
