Increasing beam stability zone in synchrotron light sources using polynomial quasi-invariants

Abstract

The objective of this article is to propose a scheme to increase the stability zone of a charged particles beam in synchrotrons using a suitable objective function that, when optimized, inhibits the resonances onset in phase space and the dynamic aperture of electrons in storage rings can be improved. The proposed technique is implemented by constructing a quasi-invariant in a neighborhood of the origin of the phase space, then, by using symbolic computation software, sets of coupled differential equations for functions involved in nonlinear dynamics are obtained and solved numerically with periodic boundary conditions. The objective function is constructed by proposing that the innermost momentum solution branch of the polynomial quasi-invariant approaches to the corresponding ellipse of the linear dynamics. The objective function is optimized using a genetic algorithm, allowing the dynamic aperture to be increased. The quality of results obtained with this scheme are compared with particle tracking simulations performed with available software in the field, showing good agreement. The scheme is applied to a synchrotron light source model that can be classified as third generation due to its emittance.
