Tune optimization of the third generation light source storage ring based on Frequency Map Analysis

Tune optimization is necessary to optimize the nonlinearity of the third generation light source storage ring. In this paper we summarize the common strategies for choosing a tune and discuss tune op-timization. Frequency Map Analysis (FMA) is applied as a tune scanning tool to reveal information about nonlinear resonances and guide the tune optimization. The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) storage ring is taken as a test lattice, and the optimum solutions are presented in this paper. Moreover, the third order regular structural resonances excited by sextupoles are particularly investigated, and it is found that these resonances distort the tune shifts with amplitude and show a stop-band like the linear structural resonances.     

Nonlinear optimization of the modern synchrotron radiation storage ring based on frequency map analysis

In this paper, we present a rule to improve the nonlinear solution with frequency map analysis (FMA), and without frequently revisiting the optimization algorithm. Two aspects of FMA are emphasized. The first one is the tune shift with amplitude, which can be used to improve the solution of harmonic sextupoles, and thus obtain a large dynamic aperture. The second one is the tune diffusion rate, which can be used to select a quiet tune. Application of these ideas is carried out in the storage ring of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), and the detailed processes, as well as better solutions, are presented in this paper. Discussions about the nonlinear behaviors of off-momentum particles are also presented.

Stabilization of betatron tune in Indus-2 storage ring

Indus-2 is a synchrotron radiation source that is operational at RRCAT, Indore, India. It is essentially pertinent in any synchrotron radiation facility to store the electron beam without beam loss. During the day to day operation of Indus-2 storage ring, difficulty was being faced in accumulating higher beam current. After examination, it was found that the working point was shifting from its desired value during accumulation. For smooth beam accumulation, a fixed desired tune in both horizontal and vertical plane plays a significant role in avoiding beam loss via the resonance process. This required a betatron tune feedback system to be put in the storage ring. After putting ON this feedback, the beam accumulation was smooth. The details of this feedback and its working principle are described in this paper.     

工作点反馈系统对同步辐射光源运行稳定性的提升（英文）

上海同步辐射装置(SSRF)储存环上目前已经安装了十台插入元件(IDs)。在用户时间,插入元件的间隙被反复地调整以进行科学实验。虽然使用了插入件前馈系统,但依然存在扰动束流光学的残余四极场,它会导致束流横向振荡工作点的变化,进而影响机器的性能和同步辐射光亮度的稳定。为此,我们研发了一个工作点反馈系统来解决这个问题,并且已经在上海光源储存环上投入了运行,在两周左右的运行周期内,工作点的稳定度达到了±0.001。这个反馈系统还有另一个重要功能,即可以根据监控反馈系统校正电流的变化趋势来判断二极磁铁电源和四极磁铁电源是否存在慢漂问题。为了验证这个工作点反馈的可行性,我们对使用反馈前后几周的束流参数进行了比较,包括储存环注入效率、束流寿命、水平方向束斑尺寸以及β函数的变化情况(beta-beatings)。

A GUI tool for beta function measurement using MATLAB

The beta function measurement is used to detect the shift in the betatron tune as the strength of an individual quadrupole magnet is varied. A GUI （graphic user interface） tool for the beta function measurement is developed using the MATLAB program language in the Linux environment, which facilitates the commissioning of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility （SSRF） storage ring. In this paper, we describe the design of the application and give some measuring results and discussions about the definition of the measurement. The program has been optimized to solve some restrictions of the AT tracking code. After the correction with LOCO （linear optics from closed orbits）, the horizontal and the vertical root mean square values （rms values） can be reduced to 0.12 and 0.10.     

Simulation and analysis of the transverse spectrum in HIRFL-CSR

Particles in a storage ring oscillate in the longitudinal and transverse dimensions. Therefore, the signal that beam has generated can be analyzed in the frequency domain to extract many beam parameters, such as tune, momentum spread, emittance and their evolution with time and so on. In this paper, the transverse spectrum in HIRFL-CSR was simulated and analyzed under different conditions, including electron cooling, hollow electron beam, solenoid effect, the tune shift caused by power supply ripple and the misalignment between ion and electron beams. The result of the simulation shows that the longitudinal magnetic field of the electron cooling device should be compensated by a “compensation solenoid”, and the power supply ripple must be controlled, otherwise the accumulation would be affected and the beam would be lost.     

Effect of undulators on the stored electron beam of Indus-2

Indus-2 is an Indian synchrotron light source, operating at 2.5 Ge V and generating synchrotron radiation from its bending magnets. In order to provide more intense synchrotron radiation to the synchrotron users, there is a plan to install five insertion devices in the Indus-2 storage ring. In the first phase of installation of insertion devices, there is a proposal to install two out- vacuum pure permanent magnet linearly polarized undulators in long straight sections of the Indus-2 storage ring. The presence of the insertion devices in the ring has inevitable effects on beam parameters like betatron tune, betatron amplitude function, closed orbit, emittance, energy spread and dynamic aperture etc. In this paper, the effect of two undulators on the above mentioned parameters of the Indus-2stored electron beam at 2.5 Ge V is presented. Moreover a correction scheme for the restoration of the betatron tune and amplitude function is also presented.

Improved nonlinear optimization in the storage ring of the modern synchrotron radiation light source

In the storage ring of the third generation light sources,nonlinear optimization is an indispensable course in order to obtain ample dynamic acceptances and to reach high injection efficiency and long beam lifetime,especially in a low emittance lattice.An improved optimization algorithm based on the single resonance approach,which takes relative weight and initial Harmonic Sextupole Integral Strength (HSIS) as search variables,is discussed in this paper.Applications of the improved method in several test lattices are presented.Detailed analysis of the storage ring of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is particularly emphasized.Furthermore,cancellation of the driving terms is investigated to reveal the physical mechanism of the harmonic sextupole compensation.Sensitivity to the weight and the initial HSIS as well as dependence of the optimum solution on the convergent factor is analyzed.     

Analysis of sextupole effects on 13 function beating in the SSRF storage ring

In a storage ring, asymmetry of the 13 function with momentum deviation is the main reason for asymmetry of the dynamic aperture. This paper applies simulation method based on AT code in Matlab to investigate sensitivity of the β function beating and the tune shift to quadrupole field error with the presence of bending field error in the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) storage ring. Sextupole effect on the variation trend is analyzed. Dynamics of the lattice for working points close to and away from the second order structural resonance stop-band are compared. These results show that the β function beating with momentum deviation doesn't lie in the influence of the second order structural resonance stop-bands completely, but it is relevant to lattice structure.     

Beam dynamics of the superconducting wiggler on the SSRF storage ring

In the SSRF Phase-II beamline project, a superconducting wiggler(SW) will be installed in the electron storage ring. It may greatly impact on the beam dynamics due to the very high magnetic field. The emittance growth becomes a major problem, even after correction of the beam optics. A local achromatic lattice is studied, in order to combat the emittance growth and keep the performance of the SSRF storage ring as high as possible. Other effects of the SW are also simulated and optimized, including the beta beating, the tune shift, the dynamic aperture, and the field error effects.
