Beam orbit shift due to BPM thermal deformation using machine learning

Abstract

Stabilizing beam orbit is critical for advanced synchrotron radiation light sources. The beam orbit can be affected by many sources. To maintain a good orbit stability, global orbit feedback systems (OFB) has been widely used. However, the BPM thermal deformation would lead to BPM misreading, which can not be handled by OFB. Usually, extra diagnostics, such as position transducers, is needed to measure the deformation dependency of BPM readings. Here, an alternative approach by using the machine operation historic data, including BPM temperature, insertion device (ID) gaps and corrector currents, is presented. It is demonstrated at Hefei Light Source (HLS). The average orbit shift due to BPM thermal deformation is about 34.5 μm/°C (horizontal) and 20.0 μm/°C (vertical).
