Abstract :
In this paper we present the first measurements of machine impedance and observed beam instabilities at the Australian Synchrotron. Impedance measurements are made by studying the single bunch behaviour with beam current, using optical and X-ray diagnostic beamlines. An observed coupled-bunch instability, its cause and cure is also discussed.
