The Advanced Photon Source (APS) recently completed a transformative upgrade, replacing its 25-year-old storage ring with a state-of-the-art hybrid seven-bend achromat lattice with six additional reverse bends. The new design features a low natural emittance of 42 pm-rad, enabling productions of X-rays up to 500 times brighter than the original APS. The upgrade introduced a pioneering swap-out...
Unlike the situation under the third-generation light sources, we will have to pay more attention to control electron beam loss under the fourth-generation ones. The main causes of the beam loss are (i) a beam dumped by switching off RF cavities and (ii) electrons lost by electron-electron scattering (the Touschek effect). Due to the low emittance, if the highly-dense dumped beam directly hits...
Two synchrotron radiation sources, the 2.5 GeV Photon Factory Storage Ring (PF ring) and the 6.5 GeV Photon Factory Advanced Ring (PF-AR), have been in stable operation at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) for over 40 years. This paper first describes the current operational status and recent developments at the Photon Factory. Next, a new concept of hybrid light source...
The Korea-4GSR is a next-generation diffraction-limited light source designed to provide beam brightness up to 100 times greater than existing facilities. Chromatic aberrations from strong focusing fields in quadrupoles are corrected using sextupoles and octupoles. However, these sextupoles and octupoles introduce nonlinear effects, causing electrons to follow nonlinear trajectories,...
