  The design of a next generation Australian Synchrotron replacement lattice is a multi-objective and multi-constrained problem. Our group was tasked to produce a low emittance design while re-using the existing tunnel infrastructure and injector system. Our objectives coupled with the set infrastructure constraints are not straightforward to achieve with manual design. Several variables act at cross-purposes to one-another, leading to a conflicting trade-off between objectives. Recently we have investigated replacement options for the Australian Synchrotron containing longitudinal gradient and reverse bends in the form of a 4BA (4-bend achromat) lattice. In this work, optimise the lattice design for a potential fourth generation Australian Synchrotron facility. We outline the baseline 4BA solution to the lowest emittance lattice that can reuse the existing tunnels and injector system.

  An optimized CompactLight X-Ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) bunch compressor design is presented. In this work, we insert an octupole into the center of the two sequential bunch compressors. We show how this scheme can adjust the compression, while correcting the undesirable peak current profile and emittance growth.

  The first Southern Hemisphere X-band Laboratory for Accelerators and Beams (X-LAB) is under construction at the University of Melbourne, and it will operate CERN X-band test stand containing two 12GHz 6MW klystron amplifiers. By power combination through hybrid couplers and the use of pulse compressors, up to 50 MW of peak power can be sent to any of 2 test slots at pulse repetition rates up to 400 Hz. The test stand is dedicated to RF conditioning and testing CLIC’s high gradient accelerating structures beyond 100 MV/m. It will also form the basis for developing a compact accelerator for medical applications, such as radiotherapy and compact light sources. Australian researchers working as part of a collaboration between the University of Melbourne, international universities, national industries, the Australian Synchrotron -ANSTO, Canadian Light Source and the CERN believe that creating a laboratory for novel accelerator research in Australia could drive technological and medical innovation.
