The Pohang Light Source (PLS) of Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), which was constructed in 1994, is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source user facility. It consists of 2.5 GeV linear accelerator and a storage ring with circumference of 280 m. Presently, 27 beamlines around the storage ring are in operation providing synchrotron radiations to users. In addition, PAL has a construction project of the 4th generation light source. In this paper, the operation status of the PLS is described and the prospect of the 4th generation light source is reviewed.

Broadband impedances for the 3-GeV pohang light source-II (PLS-II) storage ring have been numerically estimated using a full three dimensional finite-difference time-domain code, CST particle studio. The total broadband impedance of all the vacuum components was estimated as 0.256 ohm, which is a small fraction of the total machine impedance budget.

A sudden step change is observed in the vertical position readings from beam position monitors (BPMs) mounted at the several sector vacuum chambers of Pohang Light Source. To study the source of this sudden step change, we measured the RF transmission scattering matrix (S21) through the pickup electrodes of BPMs mounted at the both ends of the sector vacuum chamber. The measured $S_{21}$ graph of the sector vacuum chambers suffering sudden step change has a peak in the BPM operation frequency bandwidth. Otherwise that of the other sector vacuum chambers doesn't have a peak. It is shown by the numerical simulation that the peak found in the BPM operation frequency bandwidth corresponds to the longitudinal harmonic of transverse electric resonance mode.

국내 최초의 대형 가속기 시설인 포항방사광 가속기(Pohang Light Source)가 1995년 9월을 기점으로 일반 User들을 위하여 방사광을 제공하기 시작하였다. 포항방사광 가속기는 전자를 2.0GeV까지 가속시키는 선형 가속기와 가속된 전자를 원형 궤도에 저장 하는 전자저장링, 전자가 방출하는 방사광을 실험 지역까지 끌어내는 빔라인으로 이루어져 있다. PLS는 입자들을 충돌시켜 그 구성 물질을 찾아내는 Collider가 아니라 전자에서 방출되는 빛을 사용하기 위한 광원(Light Source)이다. 이미 전세계적으로 운전 중인 Light Source가 여러개 있지만 PLS는 방사광의 활용만을 목적으로 설계 제작 되었다. 따라서 기존의 광원보다 낮은 Beam Emittance를 가지고 있고 삽입 장치를 설치할 수 있는 직선 구간을 많이 보유하고 있다는 .larw. 면에서 기존의 광원과는 구별 하여 3세대 광원이라고 부른다. 3세대 방사광 가속기에 사용되는 전자석은 전자가 저장링을 수백억번 이상을 회전할 동안 안정된 전자 궤도를 보장하여야 하므로 전자석들끼리의 Fundamental 성분의 에러 및 한 전자석에서 허용되는 다극 에러가 아주 작아야 한다. 또 허용되는 에러들이 작기 때문에 그것들을 분간하기 위한 자장 측정 장치 또는 매우 정밀하여야 한다. 이 보고서에서는 이런 Tolerance를 만족시키기 위한 전자석의 설계, 제작, 측정에 대하여 설명하였다.

Total 215 magnet power supplies are under operation in Pohang Light Source(PLS). Current, voltage and peak power handling capabilities of DC power supply are in the range of 21 to 643V, 45 to 850A and 0.94 to 531KW, respectively. The DC power supplies can be categoriezed as uni-polar and bipolar power. Typical required stability and ripple of uni-polar power supplies are ${\pm}0.005%$ and ${\pm}0.05%$, respectively. The bipolar power supplies should be maintained within ${\pm}0.05%$ stability and ${\pm}0.5%$ ripple. Precise measurement results show that all power supplies meet or exceed the required specifications. The long term operation reliability to be sufficient for a stable operation of the Pohang Light Source.

The magnets and vacuum chambers, which are the main facilities of the Pohang light source are installed on the storage-ring girders. System safety and reliability should be taken into account for the precise operating of the main facilities, so vibration analysis is essential to do this. Static and seismic analyses were performed for the design of structure considering safety, and also frequency and response spectrum analyses were performed for the precise alignment. With these results, the effects of surrounding vibration were checked. This paper explains about the design and vibration analysis of girder systems.

An automatic sample centering system is underway at the protein crystallography beam line of the Pohang Light Source to improve the efficiency of the crystal screening process. A sample pin which contains a protein crystal is mounted on a goniometer head. Then the crystal should be moved to the center of X-ray beam by controlling the motorized goniometer to obtain diffraction data. Since the X-ray beam is located at the center of the image obtained from the CCD camera when the image of the sample pin is in focus, an auto-focusing algorithm is a very important part in the auto-sample-centering system. However the results of applying several well-known auto focusing algorithms directly to the images are not satisfactory owing to the following factors: misalignment of CCD camera, non-uniform cryo-stream in the background of the image and the supporter of the loop. The performance of an auto-focusing algorithm can be increased if the algorithm is applied to only the loop region identified. Non-uniform cryo-stream and a various illumination condition and a stain, which is shown in the image, are main obstacles to loop region identification. In this paper, a simple loop region identification algorithm, which can solve these problems, is proposed and the effective ness of the proposed scheme is shown by applying the auto-focusing algorithm to the loop region identified.
