| We describe recent efforts made at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS) to improve beam orbit stability. The main driving force is the high positional stability required by some specific experiments and particularly by a high resolution undulator beamline which is being built at LNLS. Recent steps taken to improve orbit stability include the development of x-ray BPMs to measure the vertical position of the x-ray beam, analysis of RF BPM movement due to thermal load induced by synchrotron radiation after injection, new algorithms to deal with BPM electronics or control board false readings and revision and modification of their installations. In addition a weighted least squares method was developed to account for global correction while simultaneously privileging some local source point position. These upgrades are part of an ongoing work to improve beam orbit stability at LNLS. |
