Establishment of a tolerance budget for the Advanced Photon Source storage ring

The limitations on the dynamic aperture of the Advanced Photon Source storage ring due to magnet misalignments and fabrication errors are presented. The reduction of the dynamic aperture is analyzed first for each error considered individually, and then for combined error multipole fields in dipole, quadrupole, and sextupole magnets, excluding and including magnet misalignments. Since misalignments of the strong quadrupoles in the ring induce large orbit distortions, the effects on the dynamic aperture are investigated before and after orbit correction. Effects of off-momentum particles and the tune dependence with momentum are also presented. This extensive analysis leads to the establishment of a tolerance budget. With all the errors set at the tolerance level, and with the orbit distortions corrected, the dynamic aperture reduction is no greater than 50% of that of the ideal machine
