Abstract

The SLC (SLAC Linear Collider) Ring-to-Linac (RTL) transport lines employ intense bending and strong transverse focusing to produce the momentum compaction needed for bunch length compression prior to S-band acceleration. In the presence of the large RF-induced energy spread needed for compression the consequent chromatic effects (i.e. the variation with energy of residual output dispersion and of the RTL transfer matrix) threaten to destroy the small emittances produced by the damping rings. The tuning methods that have been developed and used to implement the sextupole-based chromatic correction scheme are discussed.<>
