AbstractThe compact STorage ring for Accelerator Research and Technology (cSTART) project at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany) aims to explore non-equilibrium electron beam dynamics and injection of laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) bunches. The Very Large Acceptance compact Storage Ring (VLA-cSR) is also filled by a second injector that delivers ultra-short bunches from the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE). Injection from FLUTE into the VLA-cSR is achieved via a complex 3D injection line featuring tilted deflections, negative dispersion, and extreme compression to femtosecond bunch lengths. From this transport, the bunch develops pronounced non-Gaussian tails; nevertheless, near the injection point, it is crucial to ensure matching to both the dynamic aperture and the periodic solutions of the storage ring dynamics. The 25 quadrupole magnets of the injection line make conventional optimization methods impractical. This contribution discusses the development of the magnet optics to meet these extreme requirements. The optimization task was divided into two parts: longitudinal compression was addressed using a surrogate model, while transverse matching is currently being pursued with Bayesian optimization.
