The authors report on the study of a storage ring capable of sustaining an electron beam of the quality required for a high-gain free electron laser in the vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray region. They describe a method for the optimization of the design of the storage ring where several competing and often conflicting requirements come into play. They present an example design of a ring that satisfies the required conditions of beam quality and is able to produce coherent radiation at 400 AA with tens of megawatts of peak power.
