Beam Transport and Diagnostics for the NSLS-II Injection System

The NSLS-II is a state of the art 3 GeV synchrotron light source being developed at BNL. The injection system will consist of a 200 MeV linac, 3 GeV booster synchrotron, and associated transfer lines. The transport lines between the linac and booster (LtB) and the booster and storage ring (BSR) must satisfy a number of requirements. In addition to transporting the beam while maintaining the beam emittance, these lines must allow for commissioning, provide appropriate diagnostics, allow for the appropriate safety devices and in the case of the BSR line, provide a stable beam for top off injection. Appropriate diagnostics are also necessary in the linac and booster to complement the measurements in the transfer lines and to allow for fast commissioning. In this paper we discuss the design of the transfer lines for the NSLSII along with the incorporated diagnostics and safety systems. Necessary diagnostics in the linac and booster are also discussed.
