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.

NSLS-II injection system contains 13 pulsed magnets and their power supplies for injection in and extraction from the booster and injection in the storage ring. Requirement of having injection process transparent for the NSLS-II users translates into challenging specifications for the pulsed magnet design. To keep the beam jitter within 10% of radiation source size, relative kicker mismatch must be kept on 10-5 level and residual vertical field must be below few gauss in amplitude. In this paper we discuss specifications for the pulsed magnets, their preliminary design and parameters' tolerances.

The NSLS-II is a state of the art 3 GeV synchrotron light source that is being developed at BNL. The 9.3 meter long injection straight section of NSLS-II storage ring currently fits a conventional injection set-up that consists of four kickers producing a closed bump together with a DC septum and a pulsed septum. In this paper we analyze alternative options based on: a) injection via a pulsed sextupole and b) injection with a Lambertson septum. We discuss dynamics of the injected and stored beams and, consequently, magnet specifications and tolerances. In conclusion we summarize advantages and drawbacks of each injection scheme.

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.

Sub-atomic physics at the energy frontier probes the structure of the fundamental quanta of the Universe. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN opens for the first time the “terascale” (TeV energy scale) to experimental scrutiny, exposing the physics of the Universe at the sub-attometric (~10-19 m, 10-10 as) scale. The LHC will also take the science of nuclear matter to hitherto unparalleled energy densities (low-x physics). The hadron beams, protons or ions, in the LHC underpin this horizon, and also offer new experimental possibilities at this energy scale. A Large Hadron electron Collider, LHeC, in which an electron (positron) beam of energy (70 to 140 GeV) is in collision with one of the LHC hadron beams, makes possible terascale lepton-hadron physics. The LHeC is presently being evaluated in the form of two options, “ring-ring” and “linac-ring”, either of which operate simultaneously with pp or ion-ion collisions in other LHC interaction regions. Each option takes advantage of recent advances in radio-frequency, in linear acceleration, and in other associated technologies, to achieve ep luminosity as large as 1033 cm-2s-1.
