Advanced photon source insertion device field quality and multipole error specification

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring is a 7-GeV light source with forty straight sections. Intense X-ray beams will be delivered by insertion devices installed in these straight sections. Installation of insertion devices in the APS storage ring produces several effects which can degrade overall performance. Rigid ring performance requirements exist which can be used to set limits on insertion device field quality, i.e. the first- and second-field integrals of the transverse magnetic field. Individual multipole error specifications can be determined by considering the lifetime of the beam. For nominal operation of the APS storage ring, the vertical aperture corresponding to a 10-hour lifetime is approximately 3.35 mm, which limits the level of multipole error. We find that the skew-octupole error has the most significant effect on the reduction of the aperture; the reasons are discussed in this paper.
