Anisomagnetic quasi-achromats with small effective emittance

Quasi-achromat lattices (small dispersion is allowed in their straight sections, between their cells) are considered; in a cell, there are bending magnets of two kinds, of unequal magnetic field. Minimization of the effective emittance is carried out by the following algorithm (which follows Teng, and partly Lee). (1) Every inner dipole's contribution to the natural emittance is minimized with respect to all optics parameters (relating to dispersion and beta-function), except for the shift parameter, s_0, which specifies the interval between the beta-function minimum and the center of a magnet; for a side bending magnet, its contribution to an integral relating to the effective emittance (the relation uses the fact that the arithmetic mean majorizes the geometric mean) is minimized. (2) The other parameters of dipoles (fields, lengths or angles ratios, shifts) are restricted with the boundary conditions: the equality of Courant-Snyder invariants on the exit from a magnet and on the entrance to the following one. (3) The minimum of effective emittance and the last free parameters (two or three) can be found by computation. The accuracy of this method falls with decreasing of the number of internal dipoles in a cell, and still the isomagnetic Tanaka-Ando minimum (for the modified DBA*-lattice which has no inner dipoles) is reproduced with accuracy better than half a percent. If the number of dipoles per cell does not exceed four, the smallest effective emittance (14% lower than TA-limit) is achieved for QBA**-lattice where all dipoles have nonzero shifts.
