  The electron beam orbit stability has been significantly improved at synchrotron SOLEIL. Low frequency noise sources have been localized and identified: the fans installed on the storage ring to cool down the ceramic chambers of the kickers, shaker and FCT, were slightly wobbling the electron beam orbit at 46, 50, 54 and 108 Hz. The localization method and the solutions that will allow reducing the noise from 0.8 μm RMS down to 0.3 μm are presented. Besides, a new 160 m long beamline, NANOSCOPIUM, is being installed on a canted straight section. Its photon beam position stability requirements are very tight calling for the following improvements: addition of 2 more BPMs and fast correctors in the orbit feedback loops, new INVAR stands for BPM and XBPM integrating Hydrostatic Level System sensors. The paper is also discussing other projects that did or will contribute to improving the beam orbit stability: installation of 145 temperature sensors on the storage ring, a new analog feedforward correction system for insertion devices, and the use of the bending magnet X-BPM measurements in the slow and fast orbit feedback loops.

  SOLEIL delivers photons to 24 beamlines. Up to 22 very diverse insertion devices (IDs) are now installed on the storage ring, and 4 more will come by summer 2011, including a Cryogenic undulator and an electromagnetic/permanent magnet helical undulator, both designed and built at SOLEIL. Work is continuing on beam dynamics and magnetic corrections to reduce the nonlinear effects of all these IDs. A new optics incorporating an additional quadrupole triplet in one long straight section has been successfully tested and will be put in operation by fall 2011. A new coupling correction will also be implemented to maintain the ratio of the vertical to the horizontal emittances at 1% for any IDs configuration. The electron beam orbit stability has been significantly improved reaching a residual noise of 300 nm RMS. Photon LIBERA modules of X-BPM located on the bends, will be integrated soon in the orbit feedback loops. 4905 hours have been delivered in 2010 to the beamlines with an availability of 96.3%. The user operation with the maximum current of 500 mA is foreseen to start by fall 2011, after the completion of the radiation safety tests of the beamlines.
