Advanced storage ring lattice options based on hybrid six-bend achromat for Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource upgrade
Three storage ring lattices have been designed as options for a future upgrade of the Stanford synchrotron radiation lightsource (SSRL). The three options differ in circumference and targeted future site, with one to be built in the tunnel of the present SPEAR3 ring, one as a green field ring on the SLAC campus, and the third in the tunnel of the decommissioned PEP-II ring. The lattices are based on the newly proposed hybrid 6-bend achromat (H6BA) lattice cells, which is ideal for pushing the photon beam brightness while achieving excellent nonlinear dynamics performance. The transparent matching conditions are enforced to minimize the negative impact of the loss of periodicity due to insertion of various long straight sections. Numerical optimization is performed to further improve the nonlinear dynamics. Finally, in addition to reaching very low emittances, the lattices can accommodate traditional off-axis injection and achieve beam lifetimes similar to or exceeding that of typical third generation rings.
