LIFETIME MEASUREMENT WITH PSEUDO MOVEABLE SEPTUM IN NSLS X-RAY RING
The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a state of the art 3 GeV third generation light source currently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory and starts to commission in 2014. The beam injection works with two septa and four fast kicker magnets in an injection section. To improve the injection stability and reproducibility, we plan to implement a slow local bump on top of the fast bump so that the fast kicker strength is reduced. This bump works as a pseudo movable septum. We can also use this 'movable' septum to measure the storage ring beam partial lifetime resulting from the septum edge and possibly increasing the lifetime by moving the stored beam orbit away from the edge. We demonstrate the feasibility of this idea, by implementing DC bump in NSLS X-ray ring. We report the results of beam lifetime measurements as a function of the amplitude of this bumped orbit relative to the septum and the idea of a slow bump that could reduce the fast bump magnet strengths.
