Online fit of an analytical response matrix model for orbit correction and optical function measurement

Abstract

At the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), an analytical online model of the orbit response matrix (ORM) has been developed and tested. The model, called the bilinear-exponential model with dispersion (BE+d model), is derived from the Mais-Ripken formalism describing coupled betatron motion. Compared to the standard approach of measuring the ORM, this method continuously adapts to changing beam optics without a dedicated measurement. It is especially useful for storage rings without turn-by-turn capable beam position monitors (BPMs) as the online model also gives access to estimates of the coupled optical functions. In the following, experimental orbit correction results and a comparison of fitted and simulated optical functions are presented
