Analysis and correction of linear optics errors,and operational improvements in the Indus-2 storage ring

Estimation and correction of the optics errors in an operational storage ring is always vital to achieve the design performance. To achieve this task, the most suitable and widely used technique, called linear optics from closed orbit(LOCO) is used in almost all storage ring based synchrotron radiation sources. In this technique, based on the response matrix fit, errors in the quadrupole strengths, beam position monitor(BPM) gains, orbit corrector calibration factors etc. can be obtained. For correction of the optics, suitable changes in the quadrupole strengths can be applied through the driving currents of the quadrupole power supplies to achieve the desired optics. The LOCO code has been used at the Indus-2 storage ring for the first time. The estimation of linear beam optics errors and their correction to minimize the distortion of linear beam dynamical parameters by using the installed number of quadrupole power supplies is discussed. After the optics correction, the performance of the storage ring is improved in terms of better beam injection/accumulation, reduced beam loss during energy ramping, and improvement in beam lifetime. It is also useful in controlling the leakage in the orbit bump required for machine studies or for commissioning of new beamlines.

Linear optics calibration and nonlinear optimization during the commissioning of the SSRF storage ring

Phase I commissioning of the SSRF storage ring on 3.0 GeV beam energy was started at the end of December 2007. A lot of encouraging results have been obtained so far. In this paper, calibrations of the linear optics during the commissioning are discussed, and some measured results about the nonlinearity given. Calibration procedure emphasizes correcting quadrupole magnetic coefficients with the Linear Optics from Closed Orbit (LOCO) technique. After fitting the closed orbit response matrix, the linear optics of the four test modes is substantially corrected, and the measured physical parameters agree well with the designed ones.     

Preliminary application of turn-by-turn data analysis to the SSRF storage ring

There is growing interest in utilizing the beam position monitor turn-by-turn (TBT) data to debug accelerators. TBT data can be used to determine the linear optics, coupled optics and nonlinear behaviors of the storage ring lattice. This is not only a useful complement to other methods of determining the linear optics such as LOCO, but also provides a possibility to uncover more hidden phenomena. In this paper, a preliminary application of a β function measurement to the SSRF storage ring is presented.     

Progress of the Injector Linac Upgrade for the BEPCⅡ Project

BEPCⅡ—an upgrade project of Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) is a factory type of e+e- collider. It requires its injector linac to have a higher beam energy (1.89 GeV) for on-energy injection and a higher beam current (40 mA e+ beam) for a higher injection rate ( 50 mA/min). The low beam emittance (1.6π mm·mrad for e+ beam, and 0.2πmm·mrad for 300 mA e- beam) and the low beam energy spread (±0.5%) are also required to meet the storage ring acceptance. Thus the original BEPC injector linac must be upgraded to have a new electron gun with its complete tuning system, a new positron source with a flux concentrator, a new RF power system with its phasing loops and a new beam tuning system with orbit correction and optics tuning devices. These new components have been designed, fabricated, tested and will be installed in their final positions in this spring and summer, which are described in this paper.

A design strategy of achievable linear optics for a complex storage ring lattice

A design strategy is discussed in this paper,and it provides much convenience for effectively exploring achievable linear optics and globally investigating the flexibility of a complex lattice with superperiodicity.A matching method of fractional steps,which means separately finding the standard cell setting and the matching cell setting,is adopted to simplify the complexity of the linear beam optics design in the complex lattice.The multi-objective genetic algorithm is used to find most of all the stable linear optics,and reach a target solution after multi-generational propagation,both in the standard cell and the matching cell.A fitting algorithm with gradient information is used to restore the periodicity and symmetry of the lattice,and finely adjust the linear optics for further optimization.This design strategy is applied in the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF)storage ring,and the results are presented.

上海光源储存环线性模型校正

上海光源是我国刚刚建成的一台第三代中能同步辐射光源。为使得上海光源能够严格工作在设计状态下, 在调试过程中进行了一系列线性模型的校正, 主要包括闭轨校正、 基于束流准直（BBA）校正、 LOCO参数校正和线性耦合校正。经过反复的线性模型校正以后, 上海光源储存环的闭轨畸变均方根误差在水平和垂直两个方向可以分别控制到50和60 μm的水平, 包络函数畸变和色散函数畸变都可以控制到小于1%的状态, 工作点和束流发射度基本上校正到了设计值。线性耦合校正能够方便地将储存环的耦合度从0.02%调节到2%左右。调试结果表明, 上海光源采取的这一套线性模型校正方法, 能够有效地将上海光源的工作状态校正到设计状态, 并且为其他模式的调节奠定了基础。In the commissioning stage of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF) storage ring, several methods were used to correct the linear optics. Beam Based Alignment(BBA) was used for BPM\|Quadrupole offsets measurement; Response matrix was used for orbit correction; LOCO was used for linear optics fitting, and quadrupoles strength were adjusted to correction the beta function; coupling was measured and corrected by skew quadrupoles. After correction, closed orbit are reduced to 50/60 μm in hortizontal and vertical plane; β beating and dispersion errors are less than 1%; betatron tune and emmittance are closed to the design value; betatron coupling also can be adjusted from 0.02% to 2%. These methods have been proved to be useful for storage ring calibrations, with the help of these methods, SSRF storage ring can be tuned to the design model and other model easily.

Orbit response matrix analysis and lattice periodicity restoration of the SSRF storage ring

In this paper, we present numerically and experimentally the linear beam-optics distortion in the SSRF storage ring and the correction of optics by using a number of quadrupole magnets installed in the storage ring. The measured orbit-response matrices were fitted to the model-response matrices to obtain the β and the dispersion functions in the storage ring. By readjusting the currents of quadrupole-magnet power supplies, we were able to successfully restore the optics parameters to values very close to the design ones, with rms deviations around 1%. This periodicity restoration is verified with the β function measurement,     

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.     

Visualization of surface acoustic wave scattering by dislocations

Stroboscopic X-ray topography at the synchrotron beam line was used to visualize the propagation of a 580 MHz surface acoustic waves (SAW) in LiNbO3 crystals. For this purpose, the X-ray bursts coming from the synchrotron storage ring with periodicity of 5.68 MHz were synchronized with the SAW frequency in a phase-locked mode. This method allowed us to "stop" the SAW in time and to observe the X-ray diffraction contrast caused by the dynamic deformation field of SAW. The X-ray topographic images showed well-resolved individual acoustic wave fronts of 6 microm SAW as well as their distortions due to SAW scattering by linear dislocations. Some of the images revealed an exceptional contrast of the concentric rings about the dislocation line, which is caused by coherent interaction of the secondary elastic waves. This contrast is similar to the Fresnel zones in optics, and this conclusion is confirmed by direct summation of secondary waves emitted by local elements of a vibrating dislocation string.

The Super Heavy Experimental Ring （SHER）, which is one of the rings of the next accelerator complex High Intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility （HIAF） at IMP, has to be optimized for e-cooling. Its lattice is designed for two modes： the first is the isochronous mode, which is a time-of-flight mass spectrometer for short-lived secondary nuclei, the second is the storage ring mode, which is used for collecting and cooling the secondary rare isotope beams from the transport line. In order to fulfil its purpose, the ion optics can be set to different ion optical modes.     

PEPX-type lattice design and optimization for the High Energy Photon Source

A new generation of storage ring-based light sources, called diffraction-limited storage rings(DLSR), with emittance approaching the diffraction limit for multi-ke V photons by using multi-bend achromat lattice, has attracted worldwide and extensive studies of several laboratories, and been seriously considered as a means of upgrading existing facilities in the imminent future. Among various DLSR proposals, the PEPX design demonstrated that it is feasible to achieve sufficient ring acceptance for off-axis injection in a DLSR, by designing the lattice based on the ‘thirdorder achromat' concept and with a special high-beta injection section. For the High Energy Photon Source(HEPS)planned to be built in Beijing, a PEPX-type lattice has been designed and continuously improved. In this paper, we report the evolution of the PEPX-type design for HEPS, and discuss the main issues relevant to the linear optics design and nonlinear optimization.
