  A stable, reliable and well-calibrated beam position monitor (BPM) system is essential for the operation of accelerators. At newly constructed Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), it not only helps us to determine the accelerator parameters, such as Twiss parameters and tune, but also to avoid the damage on accelerator instruments caused by high-energy particle beams or radiation. In this study, we demonstrate a new BPM calibration scheme at TPS storage ring. To excite the electron beams inside accelerator beam pipe by one horizontal or vertical corrector magnet, we measure the response of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of each BPM pick-up electrodes with different lateral positions and beam currents. Depending on the measured ADC responses, we calibrated the beam position monitor system. Simultaneously, because of limited preparation time after every long shutdown, we are looking for a fast algorithm to ensure the measurement could be done easily and finished as quickly as possible.

  The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), a 3-GeV third-generation synchrotron light source located in Hsinchu, is available to users since 2016. During operation, it will inevitably encounter system trips caused by beam losses. Thus, a post-mortem (PM) system is an important tool to analyze the cause of such events. Main functions of the PM system are: (i) PM trigger will be generated when the stored beam is suddenly lost abnormally; (ii) storage of relevant signals when the server receives such a trigger; (iii) PM Viewer to analyze each event and understand the cause and effect of a beam trip event. The post-mortem system architecture, plans and implementation will be discussed in this report.

  The 3 GeV Taiwan Photon Source has been routinely operated for public users since September 2016. Orbit reproducibility and stability are critical for the quality of user experiments. Ambient temperature variations and earth tides can cause a change in circumference, changing in turn the beam energy, and orbit drift. Therefore both, orbit correction and rf frequency adjustments are necessary to keep the ring circumference constant. A Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) system combined with rf frequency correction deduced from the fast corrector strengths is applied to the FOFB routine. The correlation between the measured frequency variation with ambient temperature and earth tides is also reported in this article.

  The Taiwan Photon Source is a 3 GeV synchrotron light source at NSRRC. To achieve high quality experimental results, it is important to minimize beam motion. During the installation of insertion devices and front-ends, the beam motion around 60 Hz became significant. The response matrix together with singular value decomposition was used to identify the transmitter of the superconducting radio frequency system as the source for the 60 Hz perturbations. This was subsequently corrected by rerouting the grounding of the mains in the transmitters. Yet, the 60Hz orbit fluctuation became even more serious after the next shutdown. A serious of experiments are performed to dig out that the beam was disturbed by the magnetic field from newly installed fan motors. Shielding the fans with mu-metal and increasing the distance between fan and beam pipe drastically reduced the leakage field and greatly increased beam stability. These errors could be prevented at the design stage in the ideal case. However, these errors happened finally and need to be dug out and eliminated. The method and experiences are summarized in this report. These will benefit others who facing the similar problems.

  The Taiwan Light Source (TLS) is a third generation of synchrotron light source, and it has been operated since 1993. The TLS control system is a proprietary design. It was performed minor upgrade several times to avoid obsolete of some system components and keep up-to-date during last two decades. The control system of BTS (Booster-to-Storage ring) transport line includes control interfaces of power supplies, screen monitors, vacuum and temperature. The cPCI (CompactPCI) based EPICS IOC (Input Output Controller) has been adopted for renewing TLS BTS control system to replace the existed VME based ILC (Intelligent Local Controller) to be as an easy-to-maintain control environment. Moreover, each TLS control console supports not only the existing control software interfaces, but also the newly developed EPICS graphical user interfaces. Upgraded TLS BTS control system had been successfully commissioning in February 2017. Compare new system with old system, new system provides more functionality, fast response, and highly reliability. The efforts are summarized at this paper.

  We plan to replace the existing horizontal stripline kicker of the transverse feedback system with an improved design. Large reflected power was observed at the downstream port of stripline kicker driven by the feedback amplifier. A rapid surge of vacuum pressure was observed when we tested the high current operation in TPS storage ring in April 2016. A burned feedthrough of the horizontal stripline kicker was discovered during a maintenance shutdown. The improved design is targeted to reduce the reflection of driving power from feedback system and to reduce beam induced RF heating. This major modification of the design is described. The results of RF simulation performed with the electromagnetic code GdfidL are reported as well.
