National Synchrotron Light Source II is a new synchrotron radiation facility, consisting of a 200-MeV Linac, a 3-GeV Booster and a 3-GeV storage ring. The Linac and the Booster were completed and commissioned in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The 792m storage ring was completed in January. Commissioning with electron beam is underway in the last few months. The performance of these ultrahigh vacuum systems with intense electron and X-ray beams will be described. The reliability and usefulness of over 1500 vacuum pumps and instruments will be summarized. Experience with NEG coated narrow gap chambers, in-vacuum undulators and superconducting cavity will also be presented.
*Work performed under the auspices of U.S. Department of Energy, under contract DE-AC02-98CH10886.
