Coupling Correction in the KEK-ATF Using Orbit Response Matrix Analysis

Abstract

Orbit Response Matrix (ORM) analysis is a technique used to diagnose and correct optics errors in storage rings. We report the results obtained from the use of ORM analysis at the KEK-ATF to reduce the equilibrium vertical emittance. Measurements of the vertical beam size using a laser wire indicate that the vertical emittance was successfully reduced from 12 pm to around 6 pm (at a bunch charge of 7×10 9 particles) using ORM analysis.
