SVD based orbit correction at the Delta storage ring

The aim of this thesis was to implement a SVD-based orbit correction in the Delta storage ring, which replaces the earlier established methods of the 'effective corrector' and the '3-bumps' under inclusion of all correctors within one correction step. Special attention was devoted to the determination of the as best as possible correction under the restriction of limiting corrector strengths. The concepts worked out so shall then also be extended to other problems of the beam guidance, as for instance the generation oc closed orbit bumps. By the connection of the orbit correction to the existing agent system, which allows a communication of autarc programs together, the possibilities of the orbit correction shall also be made available to external programs, so that requirements on beam-position changes can be centrally processed by the algorithms of the orbit correction. In order to reach furthermore a basic understanding of the magnet-field strengths in dependence on the coil currents and saturation corrections, in the framework of this thesis measurements of magnetic multipole components of important beam-guidance elements have been performed
