The Duke storage ring is a dedicated drive for the OK-4 FEL and OK-5 FEL, and for the state-of-the-art Compton gamma-ray source, High Intensity Gamma-Ray Source (HIGS). To produce FEL lasing below 190 nm and gamma-ray beams above 100 MeV, the FEL system needs to be upgraded by adding two helical OK-5 wigglers to increase the FEL gain with four OK5 wigglers for the VUV operation. To simultaneously preserve the linear polarization capability of the gamma-ray beam produced by the planar OK-4 FEL, a wiggler switchyard system is under development which will enable the switch between two planar OK-4 wigglers and two helical OK-5 wigglers in the middle of the FEL straight. In this work, we present the new magnetic lattice designed for the operation of the wiggler switchyard system. This new lattice is developed with great flexibility for the operation with different numbers of FEL wigglers, variable betatron tunes, and adjustable electron beam sizes at the collision point for the HIGS. In addition, the new lattice is developed for the operation in a wide range of energies, from 280 MeV to 1.2 GeV, with proper nonlinear dynamics compensations in order to realize a large dynamic aperture.

The Duke storage ring is a dedicated drive for the OK-4 FEL and OK-5 FEL, and for the state-of-the-art Compton gamma-ray source, High Intensity Gamma-Ray Source (HIGS). To produce FEL lasing below 190 nm and gamma-ray beams above 100 MeV, the FEL system needs to be upgraded by adding two helical OK-5 wigglers to increase the FEL gain with four OK5 wigglers for the VUV operation. To simultaneously preserve the linear polarization capability of the gamma-ray beam produced by the planar OK-4 FEL, a wiggler switchyard system is under development which will enable the switch between two planar OK-4 wigglers and two helical OK-5 wigglers in the middle of the FEL straight. In this work, we present the new magnetic lattice designed for the operation of the wiggler switchyard system. This new lattice is developed with great flexibility for the operation with different numbers of FEL wigglers, variable betatron tunes, and adjustable electron beam sizes at the collision point for the HIGS. In addition, the new lattice is developed for the operation in a wide range of energies, from 280 MeV to 1.2 GeV, with proper nonlinear dynamics compensations in order to realize a large dynamic aperture.
