Beam centroid control is an important method for optimizing the performance for accelerators, including the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), which is a scaled low-energy (10KeV) storage ring. The conventional response matrix and singular value decomposition approach do not work well on the UMER because of the unique ring structure. One of the purposes of this work is to verify that the beam centroid could be controlled in the presence of very strong space charge. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm which is based on the singular value decomposition, but uses a different response matrix, which is computed from the closed equilibrium orbit and beam positions up to the first four turns in the multi-turn beam circulation. Other issues like strong coupling between the horizontal steering dipoles and vertical steering dipoles in the beam injection section will be addressed. Implementation of this algorithm leads to significant improvement on the beam positions and multi-turn operation. |
