  The Photon Factory Advanced Ring (PF-AR) is a 6.5-GeV synchrotron light source at KEK. An rf system comprises two 1.2-MW klystrons, six alternating-periodic-structure (APS) cavities, and other components. It supplies an rf voltage of about 15 MV with a beam current of 60 mA. The system has been working well, except for a trouble (frequent trips with beams) in one of the cavities. We found that the trips were triggered by an irradiation of synchrotron radiation to the cavity wall. In the summer of 2004, we reorganized the rf system, which allows us to install two insertion devices in a part of the rf sections. We replaced the troubled cavity at a time. We report both the operation status and the modification of the rf system.

  The Photon Factory (PF) storage ring is a 2.5-GeV synchrotron light source at KEK. In 1997, we have accomplished a large reconstruction of the ring in order to reduce the beam emittance from 130 nm rad to 36 nm rad. After the reconstruction, the PF ring has continued a stable operation over 5000 hours a year. Now we are proceeding with another upgrade project to create four new straight sections and to largely lengthen the existing 10 straight sections. The shutdown for the upgrade project is scheduled for the period March-September 2005. The lattice configuration around the straight sections will be modified by replacing quadrupole magnets with new shorter ones and by placing them closer to the near-by bending magnets. Simultaneously the beam duct in two thirds of the storage ring will be replaced. Due to this modification of the lattice, the practical emittance will be reduced to 27 nm rad. The new straight sections will have low beta functions and suitable for housing short-period narrow-gap undulators. The in-vacuum undulators, which have a sufficiently high brilliance within a spectral range from 8 to 16 keV, are being developed now.

  The Photon Factory Advanced Ring (PF-AR) is a synchrotron light source dedicated to X-ray research. The PF-AR is usually operated at a beam energy of 6.5 GeV, but a 5.0 GeV mode is also available for medical application. In 6.5 GeV mode the typical lifetime of 15 hrs and the beam current of 60 mA with a single-bunch have been archived. Almost full-time single-bunch operation for pulse X-ray characterize the PF-AR. However, single-bunch high-current caused several problems to be solved, including the temperature rise of the some of the vacuum component, a pressure increase in the ring, and a sudden drop in lifetime. In order to avoid these issues the developments of new methods have been continued. In this paper, the status and the recent developments of the PF-AR will be presented. It concerns: the successful operation with two-bunch high-current in 5.0 GeV mode; varying the vertical beam size for the medical application; modulating the RF acceleration phase in order to elongate the length of bunch; stabilizing temperature in the ring tunnel; the study for medium emittance operation with 160 nmrad; moving the RF cavities in order to install a new insertion device; an innovative injection scheme using a pulsed quadrupole magnet.
