Simulation and optimization of nonlinear kicker injection for PAL-EUV storage ring

The PAL-EUV storage ring has been designed to provide extreme ultra violet (EUV) beams, and is currently under commissioning. With a circumference of 36 m and an electron beam energy of 400 MeV, injection from the booster to the ring is achieved using a nonlinear kicker. Successful injection requires precise tuning of the kicker’s timing delay and maximum strength to match the injected beam’s conditions. This paper investigates the optimization method for these parameters and presents the results obtained through simulation.
