  The first operational experience with the transverse bunch-by-bunch feedback system for the storage ring shows a doubling of the lifetime and the ability to damp instabilities caused by IVU gap changes. The system was also used to calibrate the ring by doing simultaneous measurements on several single bunches with different bunch currents. Using the bunch-by-bunch system's capability to excite the beam to large amplitudes, the non-linear beam dynamics were also measured and compared with the model.
