Performance of the Advanced Light Source
The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) is the first of the lower energy (1--2 GeV) third-generation synchrotron radiation facilities to come into operation. Designed with very small electron beam emittances to operate with long insertion devices producing very high brightness beams of synchrotron radiation in the VUV and soft x-ray regions of the spectrum, these facilities are complementary to the higher energy (6--9 GeV) facilities designed for harder x-radiation. The ALS storage ring began operation in October 1993. In this paper, we will review the operational performance of the ALS, including the effects of the 4.5 m long undulators (period 5 cm), and discuss the overall performance of the facility.
