Emittance feedback for the Diamond-II storage ring using resonant excitation

Abstract

Abstract In the Diamond Light Source storage ring, the vertical emittance is kept at 8 pm rad during operation to maintain the source brightness for the users. This is achieved by a feedback which modifies the skew quadrupole strengths, but has disadvantages such as the introduction of betatron coupling and vertical dispersion. For the proposed Diamond-II upgrade, the storage ring will have a much smaller horizontal emittance, meaning a significantly larger coupling would be required to reach the target vertical emittance, negatively affecting the off-axis injection process. To solve this problem, a feedback using the transverse multibunch feedback striplines to drive the beam at a synchrotron sideband is planned. By driving the beam resonantly in this way, the emittance can be increased without modification of the optics. This paper describes simulations of the effects of linear and non-linear optics on the excitation as well as the impact of the machine impedance for the Diamond-II storage ring.
