STATUS OF INDUS-1 SYNCHROTRON RADIATION SOURCE

摘要

Indus-1 is a 450 MeV electron storage ring for the production of the synchrotron radiation in VUV range with the critical wavelength of 61 A. This storage ring was successfully commissioned in 1999 and since then it has been routinely operated. A maximum beam current of 200mA was accumulated in the ring. Extensive studies of beam lifetime have been carried out. The lifetime of ～45 minutes has been increased to ～75 minutes with the application of DC voltage on the ion clearing electrodes. Mainly the vacuum limits the lifetime at present. The beam dynamics studies carried out during different machine runs for beam lifetime, operating point, ion trapping, proposed plans for the augmentation of the machine performance are briefly discussed in this paper.
