NSLS-II is a new state-of-the-art medium energy synchrotron light source designed to deliver world leading brightness and flux with top-off operation for constant output. Design and engineering of NSLS-II began in 2005 and the beginning of construction and operations are expected to start in 2009 and 2015, respectively. The energy of the machine is 3Gev and the circumference 792 m. The chosen lattice requires tight on magnetic field tolerances for the ring magnets. These magnets have been designed with 3D Opera software. The required multipole field quality and alignment preclude the use of multifunctional sextupoles, leading to discrete corrector magnets in the storage ring. The corrector magnets are multifunctional and will provide horizontal and vertical steering as well as skew quadrupole. This paper describes the dipoles, quadrupoles, sextupoles, and corrector magnets design and prototyping status of the NSLS-II.

A new 3rd generation light source (NSLS-II project) is in the early stage of construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The NSLS-II facility will provide ultra high brightness and flux with exceptional beam stability. It presents several challenges in the diagnostics and instrumentation, related to the extremely small emittance. In this paper, we present an overview of all planned instrumentation systems, results from research & development activities; and then focus on other challenging aspects.
