Synchrotron electron beam control

Thesis

This thesis develops techniques for the design and analysis of controllers to achieve sub-micron accuracy on the position of electron beams for the optimal performance of synchrotrons. The techniques have been applied to Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron facility. Electron beam motion in synchrotrons is considered as a large-scale, two-dimensional process and by using basis functions, controllable modes of the process are identified which are independent and allow the des...
