Optimization of Dynamic Aperture of Pep-X Baseline Design*

SLAC is developing a long‐range plan to transfer the evolving scientific programs at SSRL from the SPEAR3 light source to a much higher performing photon source. Storage ring design is one of the possibilities that would be housed in the 2.2‐km PEP‐II tunnel[1,2]. The design goal of PEPX storage ring is to approach an optimal light source design with horizontal emittance less than 100 pm and vertical emittance of 8 pm to reach the diffraction limit of 1‐Å x‐ray. The low emittance design requires a lattice with strong focusing leading to high natural chromaticity and therefore to strong sextupoles. The latter caused reduction of dynamic aperture. The dynamic aperture requirement for horizontal injection at injection point is about 10 mm. In order to achieve the desired dynamic aperture the transverse non‐linearity of PEP‐X is studied. The program LEGO[3] is used to simulate the particle motion. The technique of frequency map is used to analyze the nonlinear behavior. The effect of the non‐linearity is tried to minimize at the given constrains of limited space. The details and results of dynamic aperture optimization are discussed in this paper.
