Description

The KARA storage ring is operated as an accelerator test facility for research and development. It consists of four long and four short straight sections and presently operates five insertion devices (IDs). Four IDs are placed in the long straights with low vertical beta functions and one wiggler resides in a short straight section with a high vertical beta function. For future research and development experiments, a short straight with a lower vertical beta function is desired. Therefore, a new optics has been designed with a lower vertical beta function in the short straights. This new optics has been established in simulations and has recently been commissioned in the machine. Efforts are ongoing to push the vertical beta function even lower.
This contribution will report on the ongoing efforts in establishing this new optics.
