  The SPring-8 upgrade plan has been discussed. The main goal is to replace the storage ring in the existing tunnel so that the resulting emittance will get as close to the diffraction limit in hard x-ray region as possible. For 10 keV photons, for instance, the diffraction limit corresponds to the emittance of as small as 10 pm.rad. For the challenging goal, the new ring features a multi-bend lattice with damping wigglers, which presumably enables us to reduce an emittance by two orders of magnitudes or more compared with the current double-bend lattice without damping wigglers. Up to now, a six-bend lattice has been mainly studied, which is supposed to generate a natural emittance of 60–70 pm.rad for 6 GeV. In addition, damping wigglers and coupling control should assist to reduce the emittance even more for approaching the ultimate goal. The major modification requires not only an advanced lattice design via manipulation of non-linear beam dynamics but also extensive technological developments in almost every component such as magnets, monitors, and RF systems. The overall review of the upgrade plan, including some detailed discussions on the critical issues, will be presented.

  In the XFEL/SPring-8 accelerator, the RF processing of an injector for the 8-GeV accelerator were carried out during two months after the installation of all the main components of the accelerator was completed in January 2011. To realize stable bunch compression process without the emittance growth, the injector adopts the combination of an extremely low emittance thermionic gun and multi-stage RF cavities for velocity bunching. In addition, in order to reduce the emittance growth occurring at the transition from the velocity bunching to acceleration, the newly developed L-band APS type accelerating structures and a waveguide system were introduced in the injector. Since an intensity of beam current is affected by the slight variations of RF power and phase of these RF equipment, we have carried out thorough countermeasures to complete highly-stabilized RF systems. Consequently, the stability of RF power and phase in rated operating condition of each RF cavity achieved 20 ppm (std.) and 0.06˚ (std.), respectively. In this paper, we describe the stability performances and RF processing of these RF systems in the injector.
