A standard FODO lattice with adjustable momentum compaction
An existing lattice made of identical FODO cells can be modified to have adjustable momentum compaction. The modified lattice consists of repeating superperiods of four FODO cells where every two cells have different horizontal phase advance. In existing FODO cell rings an additional quad bus is required for every two consecutive cells. This allows tuning of the momentum compaction or {gamma}{sub t} could be an imaginary number. A drawback of this modification is relatively large values of the dispersion function (two or three times larger than in the regular FODO cell design).
