Understanding the correlation between storage ring vibration and electron beam oscillation is key in achieving the design beam parameters of a 3rd generation light source. Spectral properties of the vibration at the storage ring floor, in addition to amplitude, and its relation to the dynamic properties of the lattice govern the complex relation between lattice movement and beam jitter. Spectral characteristics are, in general, site-specific and motions exhibit spatial variability. To best describe the relationship between the ground motion field at the NSLS II site and the accelerator while quantifying the storage ring oscillations resulting from its interaction with the undisturbed site, field studies have been conducted at various light source facilities. By using the same metric data characterizing the achieved stability levels in operating light sources are generated and used in the assessment of the NSLS II stability which in turn linked to the specific site, subsurface and design characteristics. The paper summarizes the results of these comprehensive findings and presents an overall assessment of stability levels that can be achieved.

In 3rd generation light sources such as the 3 GeV NSLS II under design at BNL, strict requirements associated with vibration on the storage ring floor are imposed in order to minimize the jitter in the electron beam. Spectral characteristics storage ring vibration and dynamic properties of the ring lattice are controlling parameters. Ground motion at the NSLS-II site is characterized by a complex spectrum consisting of fast and slow motions stemming from natural and cultural sources. Cultural noise with frequencies higher than a few Hz has the potential of dramatically affecting the accelerator performance. In this study, an array of vibration measurements at the undisturbed NSLS II site has been made in order to establish the “green-field” vibration environment and its spectral characteristics. Its interaction with the NSLS II accelerator structure and the quantification of the storage ring vibration, both in terms of amplitude and spectral content have been assessed through a state-of-the-art wave propagation and scattering analysis. This paper focuses primarily on the wave propagation and scattering aspect as well as on the filtering effects of accelerator structural parameters.
