Optimization of kicker location for pseudo single bunch operation in SPEAR3

The Pseudo Single Bunch (PSB) operation mode is being developed at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) to address growing interests from time-resolved experiments. To accommodate both regular user and timing user experiments simultaneously, a fast electron kicker will be installed in one of the long straight sections at SPEAR3. This kicker will provide a large spatial separation between the main bunch trains and the camshaft bunch. The resulting x-ray spatial separation from undulator beamlines will be highly dependent on the location of the PSB kicker to be installed. We present here considerations of the PSB kicker location with beamline simulations for both low and high repetition rate modes.
