Use of a subminiature storage ring in a weak-current regime

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The use of a subminiature electron storage ring in the weak-current regime (I b = 0.02 mA) as a source of coherent mm-range synchrotron radiation and a laboratory facility for studying electron scattering in a bunch is studied. The weak-current regime considerably simplifies the construction of a magnetic system and decreases the likelihood of the development of bunch instabilities. To make a more accurate assessment of some basic parameters of a subminiature storage ring, a calculation of the effective accelerating voltage was performed taking account of the transit factor of the rf-system cavity.
