A design process is described for damping rings in a linear collider where the competing requirements of small equilibrium emittance and fast damping of the injected phase space are needed. A systematic approach to the determination of the basic ring parameters is described. In addition, qualitative consideration is given to minimizing the system cost. The approximate interdependencies of the various lattice parameters are derived and arguments for the parameter choices are presented. In addition, many useful expressions are derived for a theoretical minimum emittance lattice. The design of the damping rings for the Next Linear Collider design are used as examples throughout.
