12 Insertion Devices Operational • 10 in-vacuum undulators • 1 variable polarization APPLEII device • 1 3.5T superconducting wiggler

Installation end ’09. Spare in-vacuum U23 device installed as a temporary measure.
Future Insertion Devices (ii) • I10 • 2 x APPLE II devices with 10 Hz polarization switching using 5-kicker scheme; engineering implications under study • 2 girder changes • I13 (L) • 2 x in-vac. undulators with “double mini-beta” optics proposed; • beam dynamics and engineering implications under study. • 1 or 2 girder changes • I09 (L) • Helical undulator + in-vac. CPMU, with “double mini-beta” optics proposed; beam dynamics implications under study. • 1 or 2 girder changes
User-Mode Operations “Standard” operation: 250 mA maximum, 2 injections/day Aiming for 300 mA early next year – reliability more important than beam current.
User-Mode Operations 3120 h in 2007, 92.4% uptime 4080 h in 2008, 94.8% uptime so far 4656 h in 2009
So what’s going on with the RF ? • mostly cavity vacuum trips, associated with very rapid pressure rise and collapse of cavity volts • appear to be “conditioning events”, but mechanism not understood • conditions have been changing too much (beam current increases, cavity warm-up etc.) to correlate trips with anything For more information see Morten Jensen’s presentation at ESLS RF No. 12: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Technology/RF/Agenda
In-vacuum Undulator Minimum Gap Beam loss monitor counts at the IDs (red) and at the collimator (yellow) due to closing each ID individually to 5 mm gap IDs 2, 3 and 4 have significantly higher radiation losses at 5 mm gap compared to all 7 other in-vac IDs Why ? .. proximity to the collimators ?? Investigations ongoing
Top-Up • First operation with external users, 3 days, Oct. 28-30th • No top-up failures, no beam trips due specifically to top-up
Top-Up • Injection every 10 mins, typically 20-25 shots (single bunch) at 5 Hz • Current stability typically ± 0.5 % • (± 0.35% due to lifetime, 24 h at 250 mA) • Experience was positive - regular top-up operation from now on ! • Injection efficiency drift needs to be understood, and cured ….
