Versatile Modes of Operation to Meet User Needs at SOLEIL

SOLEIL, a 2.75 GeV third-generation synchrotron light source [ 1 ], is presently delivering photons to 24 beamlines for users in five different filling patterns with top-up injection. The 430 mA multibunch (with three successive quarters filled; i.e., 312 out of 416 bunches) is complemented with tim...

Description
Summary:SOLEIL, a 2.75 GeV third-generation synchrotron light source [ 1 ], is presently delivering photons to 24 beamlines for users in five different filling patterns with top-up injection. The 430 mA multibunch (with three successive quarters filled; i.e., 312 out of 416 bunches) is complemented with time-resolved (hybrid multibunch, eight bunches and single bunch) and 4-2 ps bunch-length low-alpha modes. Even shorter bunches will be available at the end of 2013 with the forthcoming Femto-slicing project. With the continuous improvements of transverse beam position (200 nm RMS in the vertical plane) and the understanding of collective effects, the beam current and the stability provided to the beamlines have been steadily increased. New exotic modes of operation and upgrades of the optics to reduce the 3.9 nm.rad horizontal emittance are being studied.
