A project is underway to upgrade the existing Advanced Light Source (ALS) synchrotron. The goal of the project is to lower the horizontal emmitance to <75pm resulting in a 2 orders of magnitude increase in soft x-ray brightness. The design features two new accelerators: the accumulator ring and the storage ring. Both rings are also connected by transfer lines. The preliminary design for the vacuum systems for these rings and transfer lines in underway. With over 400m long electron beam vacuum pipe, the control and instrumentation required for the vacuum system is complex. We present the design specification and solution the project has adopted.
