Stable top-up operation at SPring-8.

چکیده
Top-up operation allows SPring-8 to provide highly stable X-ray beams with arbitrary filling patterns. The implementation of top-up operation is described, with a focus on the simultaneous achievement of stability of stored current, beam orbit, purity of an isolated single bunch, and beam injection efficiency. Stored-current fluctuations have been routinely reduced to a level of 10(-3). Stored-beam oscillation on frequent beam injection, which was originally regarded as the most serious problem, has been successfully suppressed to a sufficiently low level that it never perturbs imaging experiments. Current impurities in nominally empty buckets have been reduced to a level of 10(-9) over more than one week of operation, making possible the measurement of time-resolved spectra using high-current bunches. Finally, excellent injection efficiency, higher than 80%, is routinely obtained, even for small undulator gaps, which is critical for preventing radiation damage to insertion-device magnets and to reduce leakage radiation. The process of achieving highly stabilized top-up operation at SPring-8 and its utility for user experiments are described.

TOP-UP OPERATION OF SPring-8 STORAGE RING WITH LOW-EMITTANCE OPTICS
We have succeeded in providing stable and three-times more brilliant x-ray beams to users by combining top-up operation with low-emittance optics. The optics with the low emittance of 3nmrad was firstly applied to the user operation in November 2002. Although the low emittance provided the brilliant x-ray, the extremely short beam lifetime much disturbed the precise experiments. Moreover, the a...
متن کاملTop-up Operation Experience at the Advanced Photon Source
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is a 7-GeV, thirdgeneration synchrotron radiation source. To provide more stable beam for users, in September 1998 we began commissioning a new operating mode called “top-up.” In this mode, the beam current does not decay but is maintained at a high level using frequent injection, while photon shutters are open and photon beams are delivered to users. The hardwa...
متن کاملRECENT PROGRESS OF THE SPring-8 FACILITY
Since October 1997, the SPring-8 facility has been operated well and provided high quality photon beams for users. Over this period, various kinds of improvements have been carried out to achieve brilliant and stable photon beams and to make the most of 8-GeV potentiality. At the same time R&D has continued for future radiation sources. In these activities, the largest achievement has been the ...

In this work, the Isfahan Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) is first simulated using the WIMSD code, and its fuel burn-up after 7 years of operation ( when the reactor was revived by adding a 1.5 mm thick beryllium shim plate to the top of its core) and also after 14 years of operation (total operation time of the reactor) is calculated. The reactor is then simulated using the MCNP code,...

We describe the recent developments on the diamond-like carbon (DLC) over-coated Microstrip Gas Chambers made on drawn glass substrates. MSGC surface coating with thin DLC layer of stable and controlled resistivity was proposed to overcome the limitation of detector operation due to surface charging-up under avalanches. This brings also advantages for the detector manufacturing technology. The ...
