NSLS-II SR Commissioning Report
The NSLS-II storage ring (SR) phase I commissioning has been successfully completed in May 12, 2014. In accordance to the project milestone, 25 mA average current was achieved in the storage ring with PETRA III 500 MHz 7-cell PETRA-III RF cavity but w/o ID’s and Landau cavities. In about 5 weeks we delivered a 3 GeV beam to the ring injection straight section, made the 1st turn around the ring, achieved hundreds of turns optimizing injection, stored beam having sextupoles and RF turned ON. Injection efficiency was achieved 95%, close orbit rms value is ~100 um, tune and chromaticity were measured and adjusted as desired, and beam lifetime was a few hours depending on the stored beam current. This report consists of a summary, a chronological part, the injector system performance in Ch3, SR commissioning experience in Ch4 and the outlook of remaining work in Ch5. The SR commissioning experience includes the software experience, hardware (timing, diagnostics, RF, vacuum, PS) operation experience, the strategy for initial injection beam to the stored beam, measurement of the linear optics and control to the desired value, nonlinear beam dynamics study, beam instability study, the subsystem reliability and fault study at different scenarios.
