The NLC Main Damping Ring Lattice(LCC-0113)
Studies of the NLC Main Damping Ring lattice since April 2001 have indicated that there are a number of collective effects that potentially limit operational performance. One possible way to reduce the impact of these effects is to raise the momentum compaction of the lattice, which requires a significant re-design. In this note, we present a lattice that has a momentum compaction four times larger than the previous design. We discuss the linear and nonlinear dynamical properties of the lattice, and present some initial estimates of the sensitivity of the new design to various magnet misalignments.
