ThomX is a compact Compton based X-ray source under construction at LAL in Orsay (France). The ThomX accelerator facility is composed by a 50-70 MeV linac driven by 3 GHz RF gun, a transfer line and a 18 meters long Storage Ring (SR). The Compton backscattering at each revolution between the 1 nC electron bunch and the 25 mJ laser pulses stacked in the Fabry-Perot cavity results in the production of ~1013 photons per second with energies in the X-ray regime. This high flux of the X-rays strongly depends on the quality (beam sizes) of the electron beam at the interaction point. To guarantee this, a good knowledge and quality of the linear lattice of the ThomX SR are required. Nowadays, LOCO (Linear Optics from Closed Orbits) is a well-known and widely used algorithm to measure and restore the linear optics of the SRs and ensure the designed performances. Comparing the measured and model orbit response matrices, the linear lattice can be restored by retuning the quadrupole gradients. In this paper, we report on the LOCO analysis of the ThomX SR taking into account simulated misalignment, calibration and field errors.

The electron ring of the compact Compton-backscattering X-ray source ThomX which is being built at LAL featured with a small circumference of 18 meters and a low beam energy 50-70 MeV, and its long term single particle dynamics is dominated by the non linear effects in the transverse and longitudinal planes. In this paper, we study the feasibilities to reduce the sextupole resonances and then increase the dynamic aperture and momentum aperture of the ThomX ring, using octupoles correctors.
