and click here for some older, but labeled Images of the Damping Rings 2

Images from the Metrology Group are also available that show how the Damping Ring components are aligned.

SDR Vault Ceiling Core Drilling Project in preparation for RF waveguide installation.  Collection of images and description taken during Lombardo Engineering Work.
In December 1999 the NDR Vault Ceiling Core Drilling was also done.

Introduction:

Their purpose is to reduce the emittance (shrink the beam size) of the electron and positron beams.
 

A brief description of the function of a damping ring

is found on SLAC's Virtual Tour of the Accelerator

For more information on high energy physics and other SLAC topics
go to the SLAC Welcome Page.

People:

Damping Ring Area Manager is Kathy Burrows

Damping Ring RF Engineering support, Ron Akre and Anatoly Krasnykh.
 

Damping Ring Area Physicist Emeritus, Patrick Krejcik and you can link to his home page here.

Damping Ring Mechanical Engineering Emeritus, Eric Bong

Damping Ring Area Manager Emeritus, Roslind Pennacchi.
 

Damping Ring RF Support comes from AMRF where you can find useful Damping Ring RF data

The alignment of the Damping Ring components is done by SLAC's Metreology Group, with a collection of images here.

Engineering Meeting Notes:

The weekly Damping Rings Engineering Meeting is held on Tuesdays at 10:00 in the Alexander Room, Bldg 280.

Follow this Engineering Meetings* link for the notes from these meetings.

We also maintain a page for current projects and work in progress, that also contains items we need to follow up on in future projects:
