Commissioning of the Electron Ring, KSR (NUCLEAR SCIENCE RESEARCH FACILITY?Beams and Fundamental Reaction)

Abstract

KSR (Kaken Storage Ring) is a compact electron ring in Kyoto University. The circumference of KSR is 25.7 m and the maximum beam energy is 300 MeV. It is designed for the synchrotron light source and the electron pulse stretcher ring. The beam commissioning of KSR had started in September, 1999. In last October, the beam current of 3 mA was stored successfully. The beam parameter measurements and the machine parameter adjustments were carried out. At the end of 1999, the beam current is 10 mA. The typical beam lifetime is 1000 second.
