Experimental Study using Touschek Lifetime as Machine Status Flag in SSRF

The stabilities of the beam and machine have almost the highest priority in a modern light source. Although a lot of machine parameters could be used to represent the beam quality, there lacks a single one that could indicate the global information for the machine operators and accelerator physicists, recently. A new parameter has been studied for the last few years as a beam quality flag in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). Calculations, simulations and detailed analysis of the real-time data from the storage ring had been made and interesting results had confirmed its feasibility.
