Status of Injection Complex VEPP-5: Machine Commissioning and First Experience of Positron Storage

Abstract

The VEPP-5 Injection Complex will supply BINP RAS colliders with electron and positron beams. Primary launch have been performed: electron and positron beams were obtained, injection to damping ring have been done, as well as storage of electrons and positrons. At present time test extractions of electron beam with energy of 360 MeV into beam lines to users are being performed. Main users require a reliable and troubleproof source of particles, thus reliability and stability of operation are the paramount task.
