Description
A major challenge encountered when upgrading long-operating, large-scale facilities such as APS, ESRF, and PETRA-III was addressing the aging of beam injectors. Since maintaining dedicated beam injectors is costly, it is essential to devise applications that leverage their specific beam characteristics. Integrating the facility's accelerator complex through a phased, comprehensive upgrade will likely be crucial for long-term operation of the facility, as it will simultaneously address aging issues. In this presentation, we will first introduce the issues appeared during an actual upgrade project and then discuss the SPring-8 case as an example of a strategic upgrade that addressed those challenges.
