  In preparation of the optics commissioning at an energy of 6.5 TeV, many improvements have been done to cope with the expected reduced signal to noise ratio due to lowered bunch intensities imposed by machine protection considerations. This included, among others, an increase of the flat top duration of the AC dipole excitations, which allowed to use more turn-by-turn data for the analysis. The longer data acquisition revealed slow drifts of the optics, which limited the increased measurement precision. Furthermore, we will present how orbit drifts influenced dispersion measurements and, as a consequence, posed another limitation for the optics correction. In this paper we will discuss the implications of these observations for the measurement and correction of the optics.

Dark current emitted from the surface of high-field RF cavities can contribute to radiation levels and cryo budget and can cause damage to sensitive accelerator components such as the photocathode. The superconducting niobium cavities in the booster module of BERLinPro will have surface fields strong enough to produce significant dark current from field emission, so simulations were made using Astra to track the propagation of emitted electrons from the surfaces of the cavities to examine the effects of dark current in the BERLinPro injector. Results of these simulations, including optimization of the layout to reduce propagation of electrons to the cathode and an estimation of power from dark current deposited throughout the injector, are presented.

The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin is constructing the Energy Recovery Linac Prototype BERLinPro at the Berlin Adlershof site. The project is intended to expand the required accelerator physics and technology knowledge mandatory for the design, construction and operation of future synchrotron light sources. The project goal is the generation of a high current (100 mA), high brilliance (norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad) cw electron beam. We report on the project progress: since spring 2015 the building is under construction, ready for occupancy in January 2017. The planning phase for the first project stage is completed for the warm machine parts, the SRF gun and partly for the SRF booster. Most of the components have been ordered and are in fabrication with some already delivered. An update of the status of the various subprojects as well as a summary of future activities will be given. Project milestones and details of the timeline will be reviewed.
