A concept for canceling the leakage field inside the stored beam chamber of a septum magnet

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is planning to upgrade its storage ring from a double-bend achromat to a multi-bend achromat lattice as part of the APS Upgrade Project (APS-U). A swap-out injection scheme is planned for the APS-U in order to keep the beam current constant and to reduce the dynamic aperture requirements. The injection scheme, combined with the constraints in the booster to storage ring transfer region of the APS-U, results in requiring a septum magnet which deflects the injected 6 GeV electron beam by 89 mrad, while not appreciably disturbing the stored beam. The proposed magnet is straight; however, it is rotated in yaw, roll, and pitch from the stored beam chamber to meet the on-axis swap-out injection requirements for the APS-U lattice. The concept utilizes cancellation of the leakage field inside the 8 mm x 6 mm super-ellipsoidal stored beam chamber. As a result, the horizontal deflection angle of the 6 GeV stored beam is reduced to less than 1 μrad with only a 2-mm-thick septum separating the stored beam and the 1.06 T field seen by the injected beam. This design also helps to minimize the integrated skew quadrupole and normal sextupole fields inside the stored beam chamber.
