Abstract:
Top-up operation at BESSY II is performed with average injection efficiencies of 98 %. However, the four-kicker bump and the septum, that form the present injection system, both contribute to a distortion of the stored beam with an amplitude of about two millimeters for several thousand turns after injection. A non-linear injection kicker (NLK) could be used to reduce the distortion due to the kicker bump by a factor of approximately 30
