Optimization and Testing of Alternate Sextupole Setting

In previous chapters, the model used to predict the Touschek lifetime has been presented, together with the measurements done to confirm the model. The agreement between measurements and simulations of Touschek lifetime, varying some beam parameters, RF voltage, physical apertures, beam current and vertical emittance, is seen to be quite good for the nominal sextupole setting, after all effects are taken into account.
