The VEPP-3 electron-positron storage ring

 

The VEPP-3 storage ring (perimeter: 74.4 m, injection energy: 350 MeV, maximal energy: 2000 MeV) was built in 1967-1971 and modernized in 1986-1987.

Main applications:

  • booster for the VEPP-4M collider;
  • synchrotron radiation production for users;
  • X-ray lithography and LIGA-technologies;
  • nuclear physics experiments using an internal gas target.

The experiments successfully finished:

  • generation of coherent optic radiation by the VEPP-3 electron beam ("Optic clystron");
  • gamma-quantum beam production by Compton back-scattering (ROKK-2 facility).

Electrons or positrons are injected from the "Positron" injector with 1 Hz rate. Maximal stored electron beam current is 500 mA, storage rate is 2-5 mA/min. Maximal electron beam current accelerated up to 2 GeV is 160 mA, acceleration time is about 4 min. Maximal stored positron beam current is 50 mA, storage rate is 0.04 mA/min.
