Parameters of the accelerators / storage ring
The storage ring characteristics condition part of the performance of the whole facility. SOLEIL storage ring is extremely compact and however reserves a very large part to the most powerful Light sources. It was also designed to satisfy all categories of users, first by the choice of the nominal energy for machine operation, but also thanks to the five possible operating modes.
