H. Tanaka (JASRI/SPring-8)
On behalf of SPring-8 Project Team
for Beam Orbit Stabilization
I would like to present our experience of interdivisional collaboration at SPring-8, which means the collaboration among accelerator scientists, beamline scientists and end-users aiming at the performance upgrade.

2. 1. Progress in These Two Years
Cycle by cycle reproduction of ID photon beam axes by XBPM Sep’03
Introduction of top-up operation May’04
Increment in the number of Steering magnets in SOFB (24->48) Sep’04
In general, accelerator scientists take the initiative in the process of the machine-performance upgrade. Here in SPring-8, most of the upgrades, stored current increase, beam emittance reduction, beam orbit stabilization, etc. are this style, top-down one. On the other hand, users’ leading upgrade is rare, we have had only one upgrade relating to the optics change of the storage ring.

3. 2. Present Performance
Fast orbit stab. (0.1Hz ~ 200Hz) Hori. r.m.s. H.size=360um Vert. r.m.s. V.size=5~6um Slow orbit stab. (<0.1Hz) Hori. r.m.s. 1~2 micron / week Vert. r.m.s. 2~3 micron / week Energy drift ~2x10-5 (full width)
What is the problem in the accelerator-leading upgrade?
The answer is following. In this kind of the upgrade, users can’t clearly predict what happens by the upgrade and can’t clearly understand the merit given by the upgrade.
A lack of information makes users extremely conservative, negative to any modification.

7. 3. Merit of Top-up X-ray beam stabilization at experimental stations
Purpose of beam orbit stabilization
X-ray beam stabilization at experimental stations
Improvement of X-ray optics stability
Reduction of current-dependent noise in beam orbit variation
To break this situation, we have applied a new approach to a top-up project at SPring-8. The mission of the project is to introduce the top-up operation in user-service time. Firstly, the combined taskforce was composed of accelerator scientists, beamline scientists, and end users. Secondly, two leaders were assigned in the taskforce. One covers the accelerator relating problems and the other covers beam line and experiment relating problems. Thirdly, all information, that is, discussion process and decision, progress of R&D and situation of the problem to be solved, etc were opened by the dedicated Web page to build the common understanding of the project progress.

9. 4. Facing Problems -A 4.1. Precise measurement of X-ray
beam axes during user operation
Measured data by XBPM have gap and phase dependences
Measured data by rfBPM up- and down-stream of ID have at least gap, stored current, and filling dependences
This new approach worked well and we have successfully introduced the top-up operation, which meets the users requirement, keeping the time-schedule. The merits of the approach are following two. The users’ demand was reflected in the accelerator development and as the second, users can fully utilize the merit by the upgrade from the beginning of the new operation. This approach will be standard in the mission of the performance upgrade and construction of a new challenging beam-line.
These prevent “hard correction”

In general, accelerator scientists take the initiative in the process of the machine-performance upgrade. Here in SPring-8, most of the upgrades, stored current increase, beam emittance reduction, beam orbit stabilization, etc. are this style, top-down one. On the other hand, users’ leading upgrade is rare, we have had only one upgrade relating to the optics change of the storage ring.

Q: Is fast orbit feedback (FOFB) necessary at SPring-8 or not ?
A: Although the answer depends on the mode in higher frequency regime, SOFB seems to meet the condition rather than FOFB

17. 5. Summary
By introducing top-up operation, slow orbit drift was reduced to some extent
To request for further slow orbit stability, the local feedback loop will be provided BL by BL
We will be continue source-hunting to reduce the fast orbit variation lower than 200Hz without FOFB
