Lattice design for the 1.7-GeV light source BESSY II

BESSY II is a third generation synchrotron radiation light source presently under construction at Berlin-Adlershof. BESSY II will go into operation at the end of 1997. The main lattice features of the low emittance storage ring are presented. Special aspects of the design are a compact and flexible double bend achromat lattice, which offers 16 straight sections at a circumference of 240 m. About three superconducting wavelength shifters are foreseen for operation.<
