Description

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) is a 4th generation 6-GeV synchrotron light source based on a hybrid seven-bend achromat lattice with a record emittance goal of ~40 pm-rad. It is the first storage ring light source that implements full-charge bunch injection in a scheme known as swap-out. APS-U completely replaces the APS storage ring while largely keeping the original injectors and increases the photon brightness by a factor of 500. Complete removal of the old APS storage ring, installation of the new APS-U, integration with existing infrastructure, and commissioning was scheduled to be completed in one year, by Apr 2024. The talk will describe both challenges and successes in the pre-installation assembly, equipment removal and installation process, commissioning status, and early results.
