Parameters

The full parameters of the EBS can be found here.

The goal of the accelerators is to provide a highly brilliant beam for experiments. The greater the brilliance, the more photons of a certain wavelength can be concentrated on a sample per unit of time. Brilliance is obtained with electron beam parameters such as high current and low emittance. The emittance of the main light sources as a function of their circumference is given in the image below.

The horizontal emittance of different light sources as a function of the circumference. The blue line represents existing machines and the red line represents projects to upgrade existing machines (for more data see www.lightsources.org).   

The following table lays out the most important parameters (energy, current, etc) of many high energy synchrotron light sources world-wide.

The main optics functions, electron beam sizes and divergences at the various points are given below for the uniform filling modes and apply to almost all filling patterns, except the single bunch, for which a slightly larger size and divergence is reached due to the increased energy spread of the electron beam.
