Title: A possible redesign of the SLAC SLC damping rings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10186184

We describe a possible replacement for the SLC damping rings that would generate beams with normalized horizontal emittances of {gamma}{epsilon}{sub x} = 9 {times} 10{sup {minus}6} m-rad when uncoupled; this is more than three times smaller than that generated by the current rings. The primary difference between the new design and the current ring is the arc cell structure; the insertion regions, the kickers, and the RF are essentially unchanged. The new cell uses a single combined function bending magnet, roughly 70 cm in length, to replace the two bends, defocusing quadrupole, and defocusing sextupoles in the current FODO cell; the focusing quadrupole and sextupoles, used in the current cell, are also used in the new structure. The length of the new cell is identical to that of the current cell and thus nine of these new cells would simply replace the nine FODO cells in each arc of the rings.
