  The ALS upgrade to a diffraction-limited light source (ALS-U) depends on the ability to lengthen the stored bunches to limit the emittance growth and increase the beam life time. In order to achieve lengthening in excess of fourfold necessary to this end, we are investigating the use of the same passive 1.5 GHz normal-conducting RF cavities currently used on the ALS. While the upgraded ring RF parameters and fill pattern make it easier as long as the beam-induced phase transient is concerned, the large lengthening factor and the strongly non-linear lattice require particular attention to the cavities contribution to the machine overall impedance budget. In this paper we present our estimates of the narrow-band impedance obtained by numerical simulation and bench measurements of the cavities' resonant modes.

Improvements in brightness and coherent flux of about two orders of magnitude over operational storage ring based light sources are possible using multi bend achromat lattice designs. These improvements can be implemented as upgrades of existing facilities, like the proposed upgrade of the Advanced Light Source (ALS-U). The upgrade proposal will reuse much of the existing infrastructure, thereby reducing cost and time needed to reach full scientific productivity on a large number of beamlines. We will report on the accelerator design progress as well as the details of the ongoing R+D program.

  Coherent pulse stacking (CPS) is a new time-domain coherent addition technique that stacks several optical pulses into a single output pulse, enabling high pulse energy from fiber lasers. Due to advantages of precise timing and fast processing, we use an FPGA to process digital signals and do feedback control so as to realize stacking-cavity stabilization. We develop a hardware and firmware design platform to support the coherent pulse stacking application. A firmware bias control module stabilizes the amplitude modulator at the minimum of its transfer function. A cavity control module ensures that each optical cavity is kept at a certain individually-prescribed and stable round-trip phase with 2.5 deg rms phase error.

  Coherent Pulse Stacking provides a promising way to generate a single high-intensity laser pulse by stacking a sequence of phase and amplitude modulated laser pulses using multiple optical cavities. Optical misalignment and phase stability are two critical issues that need to be addressed. Herriott cells are implemented for their relaxed alignment tolerance and a phase stabilization method based on cavity output pattern matching has been developed. A single pulse with intensity enhancement factor over 7.4 has been generated by stacking 13 modulated pules through a four-cavity stacking system. This can be a possible path for generating TW KHz laser pulses for a future laser-driven plasma accelerator.

  The proposed upgrade of the Advanced Light Source (ALS-U) consists of a multi-bend achromat ultralow emittance lattice optimized for the production of diffraction-limited soft x-rays. A narrow-aperture vacuum chamber is a key feature of the new generation of light sources, and can result in a significant increase in the beam impedance, potentially limiting the maximum achievable beam current. While the conceptual design of the vacuum system is still in a very early development stage, this paper presents a preliminary estimate of the beam impedance using a combination of electromagnetic simulations and analytical calculations. We include the impedance of cavities, select vacuum-chamber components and resistive wall in a multi-layered beam chamber with NEG coating.
