Uniform filling mode
992 bunches are equally distributed around the whole circumference of the storage ring.
Refill frequency: every hour
|
200 mA

Low emittance
εh = 130 pm.rad
ε√ = 10 pm.rad
|
7/8 + 1 filling mode
A train of 868 bunches (7/8 of the Storage Ring circumference) filled with 192 mA (0.23 mA / bunch).
The remaining 1/8 gap is filled in its center with a cleaned 8 mA-single bunch
Refill frequency: every hour |
200 mA
|
24 hours
|
Low emittance
εh = 130 pm.rad
ε√ = 20 pm.rad
|
Hybrid mode 28*12 + 1 filling mode
One clean 8mA single bunch diametrically opposed to a ~ 192 mA multi-bunch beam composed of 28 groups of bunches spread over 3/4 of the storage ring circumference.
Refill frequency: every hour |
200 mA
|
5 hours (single bunch) -> resulting lifetime ~ 17 hours |
