Abstract

In order to understand the beam-lifetime limiting process in a medium-energy machine like the 2 GeV Pohang Light Source, the beam-gas scattering effects have been measured by using helium gas and the effects of the transverse aperture height on the lifetime have also been examined by using a beam scraper. It is found that for a medium to large gap vacuum chamber the lifetime is mainly limited by Touschek effect at the machine operating pressure, low 10-9 Torr. For a very small gap undulator, however, the beam-gas scattering makes substantial contribution to the beam lifetime even at approximately 1×10-9 Torr because of Coulomb scattering.
