The feasibility study for the new 3 GeV Taiwan synchrotron light source, dubbed Taiwan Photon Source, was initiated in July, 2004. The goal is to construct a high performance light source with extremely bright X-ray in complementary to the existing 1.5 GeV light source in Taiwan. The ring circumference is 518.4 m and a 24-cell DBA lattice structure is chosen. The natural emittance with distributed dispersion is around 2 nm-rad. A large booster ring of 499.2 m sharing the storage ring tunnel as well as a separated booster ring of 162 m are considered.

A quadruple-bend achromatic (QBA) cell, defined as a supercell made of two double-bend cells with different outer and inner dipole bend angles, is found to provide a factor of 2 in lowering the beam emittance relative to the more conventional double-bend achromat. The ratio of bending angles of the inner dipoles to that of the outer dipoles is numerically found to be about 1.5-1.6 for an optimal low beam emittance in the isomagnetic condition. The QBA lattice provides an advantage over the double-bend achromat or the double-bend nonachromat in performance by providing a small natural beam emittance and some zero-dispersion straight sections. A lattice with 12 QBA cells and a preliminary dynamic aperture study serves as an example.

Design of the beam shut-off current monitor upgrade for the advanced photon source AIP Conf.Abstract. An intermediate energy synchrotron light source has been proposed. The goal is to construct a high performance light source in complementary to the existing 1.5 GeV synchrotron ring in Taiwan to boost the research capabilities. A 3 GeV machine with 518.4 m and 24-cell DBA lattice structure is considered and other options are also investigated. We report the 24-cell design considerations and its performances.
