Using novel injection schemes for enhanced storage ring performance

Injection into an electron stored storage ring using pulsed, higher order multipole elements has recently been demonstrated at KEK’s Photon Factory. The advantage of using higher order mulipole magnets is that it is less disruptive to the stored beam and thus advantageous for Top-off operation. In addition to Top-off, such novel injector might open the door to operating storage rings with more desirable lattice settings. In this paper we will explore some possibilities for taking advantage of high order multipole pulsed kick injection.
