Alternative design of the CLIC Damping Ring Lattice

An original design of the CLIC damping ring demonstrates the parameters required for the linear collider together with the highly compact lattice (the circumference of the ring is only about 365 m). However, this design can hardly be implemented in a real machine because of such drawbacks as the lack of space between the magnetic elements to accommodate other accelerator components, serious problems with the evacuation of the high radiation power from damping wigglers and strong gradient of quadrupoles and sextupoles, which can hardly be achieved in the frame of the existing magnet technology. From this point of view this design can be considered as an ideal solution and an aim to be approached. In this paper we explore a possibility to design alternative solutions although with a larger size but with the same performance and with the realistic technical parameters.
