Extensive prototyping of storage ring magnets is ongoing at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in support of the APS Multi-Bend Achromat upgrade (APS-U) project. As part of the R&D activities 4 quadrupole magnets with slightly different geometries and pole tip materials, and one sextupole magnet with vanadium permendur pole tips were designed, built and tested. Magnets were measured individually using a rotating coil and a Hall probe for detailed mapping of the magnetic field. Magnets were then assembled and aligned relative to each other on a steel support plate and concrete plinth using precision machined surfaces to gain experience with the alignment method chosen for the APS-U storage ring magnets. The required alignment of magnets on a common support structure is 30 micron rms. Measurements of magnetic field quality, strength and magnet alignment after subjecting the magnets and assemblies to different tests will be presented.

The APS multi-bend achromatic (MBA) upgrade storage ring plans to support two bunch fill patterns: a 48-bunch and a 324-bunch. A "swap out" injection scheme is required. In order provide the required kick to injected beam, to minimize the beam loss and residual oscillation of injected beam, and to minimize the perturbation to stored beam during injection, the rise, fall, and flat-top parts of the kicker pulse must be within a 16.9-ns interval. Stripling-type kickers are chosen for both injection and extraction. We developed a prototype kicker that supports a ±15kV differential pulse voltage. We performed high voltage discharge, TDR measurement, high voltage pulse test and beam test of the kicker. We report the design of the fast kicker and the test results.

The Advanced Photon Source is in the process of developing an upgrade (APS-U) of the storage ring from a double-bend to a multi-bend lattice. A swap-out injection is planned for the APS-U lattice to keep a constant beam current and accommodate small, dynamic aperture. A septum magnet that has a minimum thickness of 2 mm with an injection field of 1.06 T has been designed. The stored beam chamber has an 8 mm x 6 mm super-ellipsoidal aperture. The required total deflecting angle is 89 mrad with a ring energy of 6 GeV. The magnet is straight, but is tilted in yaw, roll, and pitch from the stored beam chamber in order to meet the swap out injection requirements for the APS-U lattice. In order to minimize the leakage field inside the stored beam chamber, four different techniques were utilized in the design. As a result, the horizontal deflecting angle of the stored beam was held to only 5 μrad, and the integrated skew quadrupole inside the stored beam chamber was held to 0.09 T. The detailed techniques that were applied to the design, the field multipoles, and the resulting trajectories of the injected and stored beams are reported.
