The first half of this book discusses the linear and nonlinear optimization of a storage ring lattice for SESAME project. Many aspects are used to get the optimum solution. The outcome of this study is a highly compact lattice which offers 41 % of the 133.2 m ring circumference as straight sections dedicated for Insertion Devices and other needs. The importance of including the vacuum chamber limitations in the nonlinear calculations is proved in SESAME case. This is supported by the results of Frequency Map Analysis. In the second half of the book a low momentum compaction factor optics is...
