Abstract

The Swiss Light Source (SLS) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) consists of a turn key 100 MeV linac, a novel type of booster synchrotron and a 12-TBA storage ring providing 5 nm-rad natural emittance at 2.4 GeV, The SLS project was approved by Swiss Government in Sept. 1997. By June 1999 the building was finished. Linac and booster commissioning concluded by April, resp. Sept. 2000. First beam in the ring was stored Dec. 15, 2000. By June 2001 storage ring commissioning entered the final phase: The design current of 400 mA was reached, an excellent agreement of lattice functions with design calculations was achieved and first undulator spectra were measured. Commissioning of booster and storage ring included commissioning of the innovative subsystems like the digital BPM system, the digital power supplies, the high stability injection system and the CORBA based beam dynamics software
