  The SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron Laser (SACLA) linac has high beam qualities. The normalized emittance is less than 1 mm.mrad and the bunch length is less than 100 fs. If this high quality beam is injected to the SPring-8 storage ring, many interesting experiments can be done. On the other hand, the upgrade of the SPring-8 storage ring is under contemplation. The dynamic aperture of the new storage ring is expected to be so small that the small emittance beam is required to keep high beam injection efficiency. The SACLA linac beam also fulfills this requirement. For these reasons, it was decided to connect the SACLA linac and the SPring-8 storage ring. Since there is already an injection transport line from the SPring-8 synchrotron to the storage ring, the new transport line from the linac to this transport line has been constructed*. We designed the three types of magnet lattice for the new transport line; FODO, Double Bend Achromat and Triple Bend Achromat lattice. Emittance growth and bunch lengthening are calculated for each lattice and the beam qualities are compared. In this paper, lattice design and the comparison of the beam quality for each lattice are described.

  The progress in synchrotron based research made the top up operation mode of storage rings as the most attractive option both from the beam lifetime and the user points of view. To provide reliable operation of the facility at top-up injection mode the full energy low emittance new booster ring for 3 GeV CANDLE storage ring is designed. The compact synchrotron magnets with integrated quadrupole and sextupole components are used. The new design provides 20 nm emittance at the top energy with sufficient dynamic aperture and optimal optical properties at straight section for effective extraction. The complete design of the new booster and beam dynamics issues during the energy ramping are presented.

  An injection system consisting of a pulsed sextupole magnet (PSM) is being considered for Sirius, the project of a new 3rd generation 3 GeV synchrotron source in development in Brazil. This novel injection scheme will be implemented and tested in the existing UVX ring. This will also serve as an opportunity to get acquainted with the new technology and become ready for Sirius. On this paper we report on the ongoing PSM study at LNLS. In particular, details of injection dynamics calculations, magnet and pulsed power supply designs are described, as well as machine preparations for experimental tests in the UVX storage ring.

  From the beginning, the SOLEIL Storage Ring was designed to operate in Top Up injection mode. So all equipments involved have been specified to generate as small as possible beam perturbations of the stored beam during the electron beam injection. This concerns many aspects of the design and realization of the injection pulsed magnets (kickers and septa), their vacuum chambers, pulsed power supplies and timing electronics. Despite quite satisfactory results of pulsed magnetic measurements in labs, a still too large perturbation was observed on the e- beam orbit during the Storage Ring commissioning. Therefore a strong work of systematic measurements, analysis of each phenomena, tuning or modification of each device was led until reaching rather good and acceptable performances. This paper will present the results obtained. At this stage, the Storage Ring beam orbit is sufficiently stable in Top Up injection mode so that it is almost transparent to the 24 beam lines, even for the most sensitive ones. After a summary of the main significant topics, we present the developments foreseen to further improve the performances and make a new step towards a “perfect” Top Up injection.

  The electron beam for free electron laser (FEL) at the Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA) in Nihon University had been extracted from a conventional DC triode electron gun system. In conjunction with the renewal of the gun high voltage terminal a Kentech high-speed grid pulser was installed in addition to the conventional grid pulser. The 89.25MHz sine wave frequency-divided from the 2856MHz accelerating RF has been applied to the high-speed grid pulser, generating 64 or 128 frequency-divided grid pulses synchronous with the round-trip time in the FEL optical resonator. The high-speed grid pulses have been applied to the EIMAC Y646B cathode simultaneously with the conventional macropulse through the pulse coupling strip-line circuit; the resultant beam has been the short pulse beam superimposed on the macropulse beam. By reducing the macropulse voltage, only the train of the burst beam with 0.6ns width has been extracted. The peak burst beam current roughly 6 times higher than the conventional macropulse beam has been obtained with the Farady cup at the end of the FEL beamline. The FEL lasing experiment with the burst beam is underway.

  Stored beam is oscillated in vertical if the injection-bump magnets have alignment error in rotation around the beam-axis (tilt). In addition, even if the tilt is negligibly small, the beam out of the median plane is kicked in vertical direction. Also, there is a small long-term drift of the vertical beam positions in the bump magnets, which causes the gradual increase of the oscillation. We have already developed a remote tilt-control system to make a smooth realignment*. To observe the oscillation, the beam position was measured bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn by using a bunch-by-bunch feedback system** with high resolution strip-line type beam position monitor. To obtain responses to the tilts of each magnet, the oscillations were measured under the condition that the magnets were tilted intentionally. Tilt errors were calculated with least-squares method using the responses. In order to confirm the source of the residual oscillation, a frequency analysis was carried out with FFT method using the position data from 1st to 128th turns. We succeeded in suppressing the vertical oscillation to sub-microns order, the value of less than one tenth of the beam size.

  The beam transport line from XFEL-linac to SPring-8 storage ring is now under construction to use the ultra short bunched electron beam at the storage ring. The newly constructed line is about 300 m, which is just a half of the whole path from the XFEL linac to the storage ring. The beam extracted from XFEL-linac is guided to the beam transport tunnel connected to the matching section of booster synchrotron bending by 55.2 degrees horizontally and by 10.0 degrees vertically. A double-bend based lattice was adopted to reasonably suppress emittance growth and bunch lengthening. Supposing a bunch length and horizontal emittance at the exit of the XFEL-linac are estimated about 100 fs and 0.04 nmrad respectively, it is expected that the current beam emittance in storage ring is improved to about 0.4 nmrad and almost same bunch length including coherent synchrotron radiation effect. In 2010, the construction of extracting part from XFEL-linac was completed and we finished the installation and alignment of main components. The conceptual design and construction status of transport line will be presented with the emphasis on the detail magnet design and the fabrication.

  Electromagnetic interference is a critical problem for electronic equipment, especially for those sophisticated measuring sensors using in TLS. Therefore, lots of efforts have been made to isolate the EM noise from the kicker magnets. In this article, different thicknesses of aluminum chambers are applied to block the radiated EM noise. Furthermore, the different widths of slits simulate the necessary openings on kicker assembly. According to the results of small-scale experiment, some parameters are obtained to design the enclosure of kicker magnet. Compared the results with the data from the original scale kicker, these parameters provide a believable guideline in the beginning of design status.

  The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the installation sequence of TPS SR kicker. Because of adding the rotation function in row direction, the position of every component of kicker must be very precise. The kicker magnet and EMI enclosure were fastened on the rotation motor plate which could rotate ±3.0 mrad. The ceramic chamber remain fixed on the bottom plate in order to let the bellow stress free during rotation. After installation, the inductance measurement and the high voltage breakdown test were also tested. The experimental results showed the good uniformity and reached the expected request. The field mapping and EMI prevention schemes will be tested in the future.
