However, the performance of these algorithms may severely deteriorate when the optimization objectives for an accelerator are equal to or greater than four. Recently, many-objective evolutionary algorithms(MaOEAs)that can solve problems with four or more optimization objectives have received extensive attention. In this study, two diffraction-limited storage ring(DLSR) lattices of the Extremely Brilliant Source(ESRF-EBS) type with different energies were designed and optimized using three MaOEAs and a widely used MOEA. The initial population was found to have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithms and was carefully studied. The performances of the four algorithms were compared, and the results demonstrated that the grid-based evolutionary algorithm(GrEA) had the best performance.Ma OEAs were applied in many-objective optimization of DLSR lattices for the first time, and lattices with natural emittances of 116 and 23 pm·rad were obtained at energies of 2 and 6 GeV, respectively, both with reasonable dynamic aperture and local momentum aperture(LMA). This work provides a valuable reference for future many-objective optimization of DLSRs.展开更多

Nevertheless, in this paper we show that the potential of a DLSR design can be explored with a successive and iterative implementation of the multi-objective particle swarm optimization（MOPSO） and multi-objective genetic algorithm（MOGA）. For the High Energy Photon Source, a planned kilometer-scale DLSR, optimizations indicate that it is feasible to attain a natural emittance of about 50 pm·rad, and simultaneously realize a sufficient ring acceptance for on-axis longitudinal injection, by using a hybrid MBA lattice. In particular, this study demonstrates that a rational combination of the MOPSO and MOGA is more effective than either of them alone, in approaching the true global optima of an explorative multi-objective problem with many optimizing variables and local optima.展开更多

Using the High Energy Photon Source as an example, we numerically test the feasibility of implementing one coherent harmonic generation technology, i.e.,the echo-enabled harmonic generation(EEHG) scheme, in a diffraction-limited storage ring(DLSR). Two different EEHG element layouts are considered, and the effect of the EEHG process on the electron beam quality is also analyzed. Studies suggest that soft X-ray pulses, with pulse lengths of a few femtoseconds and peak powers of up to1 MW, can be generated by using the EEHG scheme, while causing little perturbation to the regular operation of a DLSR.展开更多

For a ring-based light source, the power of the spontaneous radiation fluctuates randomly in the longitudinal direction. It is difficult to produce twocolor double pulses by optical methods. In this paper, we introduce a method based on the echo-enabled harmonic generation scheme that generates two-color pulses in a storage ring light source. By adopting crossed undulators and a phase shifter, the polarization of the two-color pulses can be easily switched. A numerical simulation based on a diffraction-limited storage ring, the Hefei Advanced Light Source, suggests that the time delay and spectral separation of the two pulses can be adjusted linearly by changing the pulse duration and chirp parameters of the seed laser. A circular polarization degree above 80% could be achieved.展开更多

Therefore, a ...The betatron tune is an important parameter in a storage ring to enable stable operation. A tune adjustment tool with a small impact on the beam dynamics is useful for user operation and machine studies. Therefore, a tune knob is developed for the Hefei light source-II(HLS-II) storage ring. Owing to the compactness of the storage ring, a global adjustment mechanism is adopted. To reduce the impact on beam injection, only quadrupole families outside the injection section are used by the tune knob, and the b functions of the injection section remain unchanged. A code is developed based on the accelerator simulation software, MAD-X, to calculate the adjustment of the quadrupole strengths. The accelerator toolbox is used to double check the accuracy of the tune knob. Online measurement of the tune knob is also performed. The result shows that the tune knob works well when the tune is adjusted in a specific range. Betatron coupling measurement is also carried out, showing an application of the tune knob on machine studies. In this paper, the development of the tune knob and its experimental results in the HLS-II storage ring are reported in detail.展开更多

It is shown that beam orbit position movement at the photon source points issmaller than the orbit stability requirements in horizontal plane, but exceeds the orbit stability requirements in verticalplane. A dynamic global orbit feedback system, which consists of 38 high-bandwidth air-coil correctors and 40high-precise BPMs, is proposed to suppress the vertical beam orbit position movement. Numerical simulations showthat this dynamic orbit feedback system can stabilize the vertical beam orbit position movement in the frequencyrange up to 100 Hz.展开更多

For each ion, the absolute recombination rate coefficients have been measured with electron–ion collision energies from 0 meV to 1000 meV which include the radiative recombination(RR) and also dielectronic recombination(DR)processes. In order to interpret the measured results, RR cross sections were obtained from a modified version of the semiclassical Bethe and Salpeter formula for hydrogenic ions. DR cross sections were calculated by a relativistic configuration interaction method using the flexible atomic code(FAC) and AUTOSTRUCTURE code in this energy range. The calculated RR + DR rate coefficients show a good agreement with the measured value at the collision energy above 100 meV.However, large discrepancies have been found at low energy range especially below 10 meV, and the experimental results show a strong enhancement relative to the theoretical RR rate coefficients. For the electron–ion collision energy below 1 meV, it was found that the experimentally observed recombination rates are higher than the theoretically predicted and fitted rates by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9. The strong dependence of RR rate coefficient enhancement on the charge state of the ions has been found with the scaling rule of q^(3.0), reproducing the low-energy recombination enhancement effects found in other previous experiments.展开更多

文摘PhaseⅠcommissioning of the SSRF storage ring at 3.0 GeV was ended with encouraging results. Distortions and calibrations of the linear optics during the storage ring commissioning are discussed in this paper.The calibration procedure has reduced sextupole-additional focusing effects by minimizing closed orbit deviation and corrected quadrupole magnetic coefficients with the linear optics from closed orbit (LOCO) technique.After fitting the closed orbit response matrix,linear optics of the storage ring is substantially corrected,and the measured parameters agree well with the design.Four optics modes were commissioned,and relevant machine physics studies were carried out.Their results are summarized.

文摘The betatron tune is an important parameter in a storage ring to enable stable operation. A tune adjustment tool with a small impact on the beam dynamics is useful for user operation and machine studies. Therefore, a tune knob is developed for the Hefei light source-II(HLS-II) storage ring. Owing to the compactness of the storage ring, a global adjustment mechanism is adopted. To reduce the impact on beam injection, only quadrupole families outside the injection section are used by the tune knob, and the b functions of the injection section remain unchanged. A code is developed based on the accelerator simulation software, MAD-X, to calculate the adjustment of the quadrupole strengths. The accelerator toolbox is used to double check the accuracy of the tune knob. Online measurement of the tune knob is also performed. The result shows that the tune knob works well when the tune is adjusted in a specific range. Betatron coupling measurement is also carried out, showing an application of the tune knob on machine studies. In this paper, the development of the tune knob and its experimental results in the HLS-II storage ring are reported in detail.
文摘The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a proposed 3rd generation light source with 3.5 GeV in energy. It is composed of 20 DBA cells resulting in a ring that is about 10 nm(rad in emittance and 396 m in circumference, and provides 10 straight sections of 7.24 m and other 10 straight sections of 5.0 m for the inclusion of insertion devices, injection components and RF cavities. The lattice has high flexibility, and the tunes and beta functions can be easily adjusted within a wide range to meet the requirements for different operation modes, including high beta mode and hybrid beta mode with and/or without dispersion in straight sections. In this paper, the results of linear optics design and dynamic aperture study are presented.
文摘In this paper, analysis of the beam orbit stability and conceptual study of the dynamic orbit feedback inthe SSRF storage ring are presented. It is shown that beam orbit position movement at the photon source points issmaller than the orbit stability requirements in horizontal plane, but exceeds the orbit stability requirements in verticalplane. A dynamic global orbit feedback system, which consists of 38 high-bandwidth air-coil correctors and 40high-precise BPMs, is proposed to suppress the vertical beam orbit position movement. Numerical simulations showthat this dynamic orbit feedback system can stabilize the vertical beam orbit position movement in the frequencyrange up to 100 Hz.

文摘Recombination of Ar^(14+), Ar^(15+), Ca^(16+), and Ni^(19+) ions with electrons has been investigated at low energy range based on the merged-beam method at the main cooler storage ring CSRm in the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou,China. For each ion, the absolute recombination rate coefficients have been measured with electron–ion collision energies from 0 meV to 1000 meV which include the radiative recombination(RR) and also dielectronic recombination(DR)processes. In order to interpret the measured results, RR cross sections were obtained from a modified version of the semiclassical Bethe and Salpeter formula for hydrogenic ions. DR cross sections were calculated by a relativistic configuration interaction method using the flexible atomic code(FAC) and AUTOSTRUCTURE code in this energy range. The calculated RR + DR rate coefficients show a good agreement with the measured value at the collision energy above 100 meV.However, large discrepancies have been found at low energy range especially below 10 meV, and the experimental results show a strong enhancement relative to the theoretical RR rate coefficients. For the electron–ion collision energy below 1 meV, it was found that the experimentally observed recombination rates are higher than the theoretically predicted and fitted rates by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9. The strong dependence of RR rate coefficient enhancement on the charge state of the ions has been found with the scaling rule of q^(3.0), reproducing the low-energy recombination enhancement effects found in other previous experiments.

文摘Dielectronic recombination(DR)is one of the dominant electron-ion recombination mechanisms for most highly charged ions(HCIs)in cosmic plasmas,and thus,it determines the charge state distribution and ionization balance therein.To reliably interpret spectra from cosmic sources and model the astrophysical plasmas,precise DR rate coefficients are required to build up an accurate understanding of the ionization balance of the sources.The main cooler storage ring(CSRm)and the experimental cooler storage ring(CSRe)at the Heavy-Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL)are both equipped with electron cooling devices,which provide an excellent experimental platform for electron-ion collision studies for HCIs.Here,the status of the DR experiments at the HIRFL-CSR is outlined,and the DR measurements with Na-like Kr25^(+)ions at the CSRm and CSRe are taken as examples.In addition,the plasma recombination rate coefficients for Ar12^(+),14^(+),Ca14^(+),16^(+),17^(+),Ni19^(+),and Kr25^(+)ions obtained at the HIRFL-CSR are provided.All the data presented in this paper are openly available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00092.

文摘The physical design for a novel low-energy compact-storage-ring-based extreme ultraviolet(EUV)light source was systemically studied.The design process considers the linear and nonlinear beam optics,including transverse matching and the optimization of the dynamic aperture,momentum aperture,and beam lifetime.With a total circumference of 36.7 m and a beam energy of 400 MeV,the storage ring can operate with an average beam current of up to 1 A.With the undulator as the radiator,this facility has the potential to emit EUV radia-tion at 13.5 nm with an average power exceeding 10 W within the bandwidth.In addition,the collective instabili-ties of the lattice at high beam current were analyzed;it was found that the typical instabilities which may occur in an electron storage ring can be reasonably controlled in our design.With the advantages of variable beam energy and current,this design exhibits great promise as a new can-didate for various EUV lithographical applications requir-ing tunable radiation power.
