Optimized Filling of the ALS Storage Ring

Jan Pusina

The Storage Ring at the Advanced Light Source is capable of filling into selected buckets. The nominal fill pattern is 276 consecutive buckets out of 328 possible, filled to a total of 400 mA. It has been found that the amount of charge injected is not uniform bucket-to-bucket, sometimes varying by 100% or more. This variability causes problems with beam stability, and it may shorten the beam lifetime. We have devised a feedback system that allows for beam stacking in an orderly manner, yielding uniform bunch heights with 17% variation or less. At fill time, multiple bunches are injected into the Storage ring first , then, using feedback, selected single bunches top off the fill.
