Injection

■Latest status (updated: Feb. 18, 2022)

PF ring and PF-AR operate in Top-up injection mode.

■Notice

  • Linac carries out a machine study on every Wednesday . During this study, the top-up injection is stopped, and there are three injections (9:00,17:00 and 25:00).
  • Linac carries out a machine maintenance in daytime every second Wednesday (5/11, 5/25, 6/8, 6/22). During this maintenance, the top-up injection is stopped.
  • When a beam dump or life time drop is occurred, re-injection is performed. If re-injection is performed at less than 2 hours before an ordinal injection, the ordinal injection is skipped.
