Abstract

In recent years, a new generation of storage ring based light sources, known as diffraction limited storage rings (DLSRs), whose emittance approaches the diffraction limit for the range of X ray wavelengths of interest to the scientific community, has garnered significant attention worldwide. Researchers have begun to design and build DLSRs. Among various DLSR proposals, the hybrid multibend achromat (HMBA) lattice enables sextupole strengths to be maintained at a reasonable level when minimizing the emittance; hence, it has been adopted in many DLSR designs. Based on the H7BA lattice, the design of the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade Project (APSU) can effectively reduce emittance by replacing six quadrupoles with antibends. Herein, we discuss the feasibility of designing an APSU type HMBA lattice for the Southern Advanced Photon Source, a mid energy DLSR light source with ultralow emittance that has been proposed to be built adjacent to the China Spallation Neutron Source. Both linear and nonlinear dynamics are optimized to obtain a detailed design of this type of lattice. The emittance is minimized, while a sufficiently large dynamic aperture (DA) and momentum acceptance (MA) are maintained. A design comprising 36 APSU type H7BAs, with an energy of 3 GeV and a circumference of 972 m, is achieved. The horizontal natural emittance is 20 pm rad, with a horizontal DA of 5.8 mm, a vertical DA of 4.5 mm, and an MA of 4%, as well as a long longitudinal damping time of 120 ms. Subsequently, a few modifications are performed based on the APSU type lattice to reduce the longitudinal damping time from 120 to 44 ms while maintaining other performance parameters at the same level.
