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

Nevertheless, the nonlinear performance of the design needs further improvements to increase both the dynamic aperture and the momentum acceptance. In this study, genetic optimization of the linear optics is performed, so as to find all the possible solutions with weaker sextupoles and hence weaker nonlinearities, while keeping the emittance at the same level as the baseline design. The solutions obtained enable us to explore the dependence of nonlinear dynamics on the working point. The result indicates that with the same layout, it is feasible to obtain much better nonlinear performance with a delicate tuning of the magnetic field strengths and a wise choice of the working point.展开更多

The solutions obtained enable us to explore the dependence of nonlinear dynamics on the working point. The result indicates that with the same layout, it is feasible to obtain much better nonlinear performance with a delicate tuning of the magnetic field strengths and a wise choice of the working point.
文摘Purpose Superconducting 166.6-MHz cavities will be used to accelerate electron beams in high-energy photon source(HEPS).The radio-frequency(RF)fields inside these cavities have to be controlled better than 0.03%(rms error)for the amplitude and 0.03◦(rms error)for the phase.Adopting a quarter-wave geometry withβ=1,the 166.6-MHz cavity has two intrinsic mechanical modes at∼100Hz observed in both simulations and cryogenic tests.If coupled to external vibrations,these microphonics modes shall stress the existing proportional–integral(PI)feedback controller and inevitably deteriorate the field stabilities.Therefore,additional noise suppression may be required.Methods Adigital low-level RF system previously in-house developedwas connected to a 166.6-MHz dressed cavity at room temperature in the laboratory.Piezo-tunerswere used to“knock”on the cavity at various frequencies to excite cavity vibrations,and microphonics spectrum was subsequently measured.A disturbance observer(DOB)-based algorithm was adopted and integrated into the existing feedback controller.The performance of PI controller,DOB controller and a combination of PI and DOB controller was compared.The limitation of the DOB controller was also examined.Results and conclusions The PI controller was proved to be insufficient in suppressing large cavity microphonics during the tests.By adding the DOB controller,the excellent field stabilities can be restored.Optimized loop parameters were obtained.The simple first-order filter was adequate thanks to the robustness of the DOB controller.This constitutes a first laboratory demonstration of the active microphonics noise suppression in the 166.6-MHz RF cavity for HEPS.
