The Canadian Light Source is a third generation synchrotron which supports 22 operational beamlines. A project to replace all beam diagnostic analog cameras with CCD cameras was initiated in 2020. Over time this project has been expanded to include beam analysis capabilities. We present an EPICS-based imaging system that uses inexpensive CCD cameras. The system computes beam parameters including strength, centroid, ellipticity, eccentricity, and angle. Analysis is performed in real time, and images can also be saved for post processing. Features, implementation details, obstacles and long term plans will be discussed.

The Canadian Light Source (CLS) linear accelerator (linac) serves as the injector for the 2.9 GeV synchrotron. The original linac, which was installed in the 1960's, was replaced in 2024. The new 3000.24 MHz linac was designed and built by RI Research Instruments GmbH. The linac makes use of a 90 kV thermionic source, three 5m long accelerating S-band structures and a SLED pulse compressor system to accelerate electrons to 250 MeV. The initial beam instrumentation included a faraday cup, yag screens, beam position monitors and fast current transformers. During the course of commissioning directional couplers and microphones were added to provide insight into the location of RF breakdowns. This paper will provide an overview of the new linear accelerator and our experience commissioning the new equipment.

The Canadian Light Source (CLS) is a third generation 2.9 GeV synchrotron comprised of a 250 MeV LINAC, a full energy booster, and a storage ring with 13 insertion devices and 22 operational beamlines ranging from infrared light to hard X-rays. The Timing System supplies the triggers required to synchronize operation of all components responsible for injecting current into the storage ring. Signals from the Timing System can also be used to synchronize data acquisition on beamlines. The Trigger Generator Unit (TGU), which was designed by the CLS, is the centerpiece of the timing electronics. The TGU is driven by the 500 MHz master oscillator and is controlled using digital I/O. The trigger signals are distributed via a fiber optic system, which was also designed in house. The Timing System has been in operation since 2001 and has proven itself to be stable and robust. This paper provides a detailed overview of the system and its history and operational performance.
