ABSTRACT: The Diamond Light Source is the new medium energy 3<sup>rd</sup> generation light source located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in the UK. The storage ring was successfully commissioned at full energy during the period Sept. to Dec. 2006, and is now delivering synchrotron light to users. During the commissioning period, operation of the storage ring at the design specifications was established in terms of closed orbit distortion, linear optics, coupling correction and emittance. In this report we provide details of these studies as well as more recent investigations into the zero- dispersion lattice.

ABSTRACT: Diamond is a 3 GeV low emittance third generation light source recently commissioned in Oxfordshire, UK. During Phase I of the project, seven insertion devices (IDs) have been installed and commissioned: these include 5 in-vacuum permanent magnet undulators, a variable polarization APPLE-II helical device (HU64) and a superconducting wiggler (SCW). We present our experiences commissioning these devices and the results of the investigations of their effects on beam dynamics, including orbit distortion, linear tune shifts, beta-beating and beam lifetime. Alpha-matching with local and global tune compensations, as well as the LOCO algorithm, have been used to compensate the linear optic perturbations. The results are discussed and compared with theoretical predictions. Injection with IDs in operation has also been investigated in view of future top-up operation.

ABSTRACT: Diamond is a 3 GeV synchrotron light source under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire (UK)[1]. The accelerator complex consists of a 100 MeV linac, a full-energy booster and a 3 GeV storage ring with 22 straight sections available for insertion devices. Installation of all three accelerators has begun and linac commissioning is due to start in summer 2005. This paper will give an overview of the status of the installation and the progress in accelerator physics studies. The Diamond facility is expected to be operational for users in 2007.
