  The Australian Synchrotron Light Source (ASLS) uses a 100 MeV linac as the start of the acceleration chain for the injector. The two main accelerating structures of linac are normally fed by independent pulsed klystrons. A recent upgrade to the waveguide system has allowed for a single klystron to power both accelerating structures. While this operation mode delivers a reduced total beam energy, the operation of only a single klystron results in less wear and enhanced robustness against klystron breakdown. Commissioning results of single klystron operation of the linac are shown and future benefits are detailed.

  Alignment tolerances for the CLIC main damping ring magnetic lattice elements are presented. Tolerances are defined by the design equilibrium vertical emittance of 1 pm rad. The sensitivity of the uncorrected lattice to magnet misalignments is presented. Misalignments considered included quadrupole vertical offsets and rolls, sextupole vertical offsets, and main dipole rolls. Seeded simulations were conducted in MAD-X, and compared with expectation values calculated from theory. The lattice was found to be sensitive to betatron coupling as a result of sextupole vertical offsets in the arcs. Alignment tolerances, BPM and corrector requirements are presented also. For the same misalignment types, the equilibrium emittance of the corrected lattice is simulated. These are compared with expectation values calculated from theory. The vertical alignment tolerance of arc sextupoles is again demanding.

  The Australian Synchrotron Light Source has enjoyed several years of stable operations with a high degree of availability. It is now time to move towards top-up operations to improve the stability and integrated flux of the photon beam. This paper describes the steps that have been taken and what remains to be done in order to implement top-up injection as the normal operation mode for the first user runs of 2012.
