Dear Toshiyuki and all,

First, happy New Year to everyone!

Thank you Toshiyuki for this summary of the optics and tuning work you have done.

The tuning performance seems not to be sufficient yet with the TDR parameters, especially since adding more realistic features (dynamic errors, having to tune e- & e+ beam lines simultaneously, use realistic lump signal input etc) will only degrade this expectation. Here are some thoughts I have on how to improve the tuning performance that might be worth considering:

* Use 1e-4 instead of 1e-3 magnet strength errors, I have found in the past this can make quite a difference and according to magnet design experts is an achievable level of accuracy. Although, at some point in the future it will be good to only specify this level of accuracy where needed.

* Use a more advanced BBA / beam steering algorithm which gives a smoother beam trajectory and smaller dispersive emittance growth (e.g. DMS).

* Is 10um BPM-magnet BBA as good as can be done? What can be done to get 1um or below, especially for the Sextupoles? With 100-nm level accuracy from cavity BPMs, I would expect better possible performance. Although in reality, 10um is about the best performance I have ever seen from the ATF2 BBA process even with the cavities- this would be an excellent program for somebody to consider trying to experimentally determine the BBA performance limits, especially as it seems an important contribution to the BDS tuning performance.

* What limits the luminosity performance? Other second-order terms, or third-order terms? Can we generate knobs to target these, using Octupoles if required? Are these generated by how far the sextupoles must be moved, can this effect be mitigated by more reliance on non-sextupole mover based corrections (upstream dispersion correction by bumps or quad/skew-quad in dispersive region solution, using skew-quad in non-dispersive region for coupling correction)?

In the past (for the RDR), we had the idea of emittance growth budgets for each region, with 6nm allowed for the BDS- i.e. with a design 40nm, the BDS could deliver design luminosity including all emittance degrading effects at a 90% confidence level if supplied with a beam with 34nm vertical emittance. We should eventually aim at providing a similar statement for the TDR.

Best wishes,

- Glen.
