Abstract: (JACoW)
When computing gas-scattering lifetime for storage rings, it is common to use the average pressure, even though it is known that the pressure varies with location in the ring and varies differently for different gas species. In addition, other simplifications are commonly made, such as assuming that the apertures in the horizontal and vertical planes are independent and assuming that the momentum acceptance can be characterized by a single value. In this paper, we describe computation of the elastic- and bremsstrahlung-scattering lifetimes that includes species-specific gas pressure profiles computed with VACCALC and MOLFLOW. In addition, the computations make use of the detailed shape of the dynamic acceptance and the position-dependent momentum acceptance. Comparisons are made to simpler methods for the Advanced Photon Source storage ring and the multi-bend achromat upgrade lattice.
