A possible approach to reduce the emittance of HLS-Ⅱ storage ring using a Robinson wiggler

In this paper, we present some preliminary studies on using a Robinson wiggler to reduce the horizontal beam emittance in the Hefei Light Source Ⅱ (HLS-Ⅱ) storage ring. A proof-of-principle lattice demonstrates that it is possible to reduce its emittance by 50% with a 2-meter long wiggler. This encouraging result suggests a feasible option to significantly improve the machine performance at a relatively low cost.     

A betatron tune measurement system based on bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback at the Duke storage ring

To combat electron beam instabilities, a digital bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback (TFB) system has been developed for the Duke storage ring. While it is capable of suppressing transverse beam instabilities for multibunch operation, the TFB system has not been needed for typical operation of the Duke storage ring. To explore the great potential of this system, we have developed beam diagnostic techniques using the TFB, in particular, the TFB based tune measurement techniques. The tune measurement technique allows us to conduct fast chromaticity measurements, compared with the existing chromaticity measurement system using a network analyzer. This new tune measurement system also enables us to measure the bunch tune for multibunch operation of the Duke storage ring. With the TFB based tune measurement system, we have studied the tune stability of the electron beam in the Duke storage ring. This tune system has also been used to calibrate the tune knob for the Duke storage ring.

Conditioning of BPM pickup signals for operations of the Duke storage ring with a wide range of single-bunch current

The Duke storage ring is a dedicated driver for the storage ring based oscillator free-electron lasers（FELs）, and the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source（HIGS）. It is operated with a beam current ranging from about1 mA to 100 mA per bunch for various operations and accelerator physics studies. High performance operations of the FEL and γ-ray source require a stable electron beam orbit, which has been realized by the global orbit feedback system. As a critical part of the orbit feedback system, the electron beam position monitors（BPMs） are required to be able to precisely measure the electron beam orbit in a wide range of the single-bunch current. However, the high peak voltage of the BPM pickups associated with high single-bunch current degrades the performance of the BPM electronics, and can potentially damage the BPM electronics. A signal conditioning method using low pass filters is developed to reduce the peak voltage to protect the BPM electronics, and to make the BPMs capable of working with a wide range of single-bunch current. Simulations and electron beam based tests are performed. The results show that the Duke storage ring BPM system is capable of providing precise orbit measurements to ensure highly stable FEL and HIGS operations.
