Top Up Project
@ Most facilities operate in Top Up mode, except ESRF
Pro: Reduced heat load variation on the beamline optics.
 Improves stability
Con: Increased number of injections.
 Disturbs stability
@ Survey of Top Up operation at
ESRF/ APS/ SPRing8/ PETRA/ SOLEIL/ DIAMOND/ BESSY/ ELETTRA/ ALBA /SLS
Top Up is multi parameter with discrepancies between institutes!
@ ESRF has developed a lot of expertise in the design of the optics and in
the layout of beamlines to manage heat load variation,
especially for the UPBLs, which should be less sensitive to refills.
Could we still gain (a lot) by reducing the current variation ?
What would be the (maximum) current variation which would make a refill transparent?

The Quest for 4th Generation SR
The last few years have been characterize by a World-Wide R&D carried
on by Accelerator Engineers to find solutions to improve the SR beam
parameters.
The Science in general benefits by any of this improvements:
- Horizontal Emittance
- Vertical Emittance => Diffraction Limit reached routinely everywhere
- Bunch Length
=> Very costly solutions (e.g. SC Crab Cavities)
- Energy Spread
=> No solutions exists for a significant decrease
(< 0.05-0.1%) in SR
- Beam Current
=> Close to the limits imposed by the BL
17
Low Horizontal Emittance SR
The most immediate advantages of such machines are:
- Brigthness Increase while maintaining the same flux
- Spacial Resolution Increase
- Transverse Coherence
The first two points improve almost linearly for an emittance decrease
from 2-4nm down to 50-100pm. For lower emittance the gain become less
than linear due to:
- the diffraction limit
- mismatch of the electron beam with the X-Ray beam
The coherence starts to be of significance for emittances below 5-10pm.
For example: @10KeV 80% coherence needs about 1pm emittance.

ESRF toward a 4th Generation SR
The world wide effort in lattice design and technology developments has paved
the road the possibility of studying options to upgrade the ESRF storage ring lattice in
order to significantly lower (by a factor 20-40) the equilibrium horizontal, within the
constraints underlined in the ESRF “purple book” (par. 3.1.8), in particular:
- Maintain as much as possible unchanged the existing Straight Sections and
BeamLines
- Maintain the present Injection Scheme and Injection Complex
- Reuse as much as possible the existing ARCs hardware (Power Supplies,
Vacuum System, Diagnostic etc…)
- Reduce Operation Costs, specifically Wall-Plug Power.
These constraints pose limits to the ultimate ring performances and raise technical
and logistic challenges. On the other end they are consistent with the following crucial
points:
- Cost comparable with a “Phase II” budget expenditure
- Upgrade to be completed by beginning of next decade (2020)
- Less than 1 year ShutDown for installation and commissioning

New Lattice Engineering
The complexity of the problem is relatively contained, since it is limited only to the
design of a 25m long Arc (*32). However the technical aspects are very challenging:
- High gradients magnets (4 times more)
- Tight tolerances (2 times more)
- Small vacuum chamber (2 times less)
- Very compact design
It should be stressed that the 4th Generation SRs take advantage of all the R&D
and Know-How accumulated in the last 20 years at ESRF and the rest of the world:
- Lattice design
- Vacuum technologies (e.g. NEG coating that allows the use of smaller vacuum
chambers)
- Magnet technologies (better modeling and manufacturing)
- Diagnostic (e.g. Libera BPMs)
- Controls
- Operations
-…

• Phase II Upgrade could be an excellent opportunity to:
- Improve and Expand the Science Reach of the SRbased Light Sources
- Enabling New Technologies
- Realize a World-Class SR, we might expect an overall
100 fold increase in brightness of a SR-Based Light
Source
- Provide Invaluable Know-How to:
Continue the push for higher perfomances SR-based

New lattice project schedule and budget evaluation
1.
The budget evaluation is divided in 2 parts. The first part contains all what is need in term of R&D and
prototyping and all what can used be anyhow on the present machine (Top-Up, RF, Upgrade of the injector,
IDs,..) (mostly be paid with the money of phase 1). The second part is the fresh capital money needed to
implement the new lattice (No other improvements included!).
1.
This budget evaluation will be use to evaluate the cost but also mostly to get all the tasks to perform.
It should contains all items even if the cost is low.  Please add the missing items.
2.
The price evaluation is mostly based on the cost evaluation of the 6 metre and 7 metre projects.The prices
are in 2012 euros. The estimation of the inflation willbe done by finance.
3.
The preliminary budget profile covering 2013-2018 for each item is based on the planning.
4.
We should not inflate too much the individual the price, but be realistic. We have anticipated a contingency
of 10 % that could be re-distributed.
5.
The cost of the building corresponds to the construction of the Vercors building (4400 square metre total)
(taken out of the EX2 project phase 1).
6.
External manpower should be evaluated in the cost (Drafting, engineering, and installation).
7.
The evaluation suppose that we re-use the existing Ids and mostly the FE
8.
The evaluation of the resources profile could be done as soon as the tasks and planning are evaluated.
9.
The cost of the cabling, diagnostics & control could be underestimate. It depends on what is re-used.

Short and Mid Term path
The ASD has been working very hard in all the machine subsystems in order to
improve the performances and reliability of the source.
There are a lot of tasks planned for the next few years that, together with what
already done will virtually complete most of the envised “Phase-I” upgrades.
In order to define a mid term strategy we must consider that a big extend of what
has been done so far for Phase-I and the remaining activities are synergic and/or
essential for a more radical upgrade of the SR. In particular, the much more
demanding SR parameters do require:
- High level of control/diagnostic/stabilization (e.g.: Libera-BPMs, FOC etc)
- HOM-damped RF-Cavities (to allow operation with shorter bunches: 5-10ps)
- TOP-UP (even with the same Dynamic-Aperture of the present ring Tau<2-5hrs)
- Improved reliability
- Smaller Gap/shorter period Undulators (to take full advantage of the increased
vertical stay-clear
- ...
34
Short and Mid Term path
In the next 2-4 years we will continue all the already foreseen activities.
In particular:
- TopUp
- HOM-Damped Cavities
- 7m/Low-Beta Section
are an essential part of the ESRF upgrade path and of any possible SR
Lattice Upgrade.
The amount of effort/FTEs/Budget to be dedicated to a New Lattice Design
and related R&D, remains to be defined. Anyway the ESRF-Divisions/Groups
have enough resources to progress on the studies, without impacting the
present activities, at least up to a white-paper stage (by end of 2012).
