	At SOLEIL, the time resolved French community benefits of single bunch operation few weeks a year. Meanwhile most of the multi-bunch filling pattern based experiments are not possible due to the low photon flux. Following the pioneer work performed at ALS, a new operation mode is under study at SOLEIL where the storage ring is filled up with a special hybrid mode: ¾ multibunch filling pattern and a single bunch with higher current in the last ¼. The so-called pseudo single bunch-filling pattern is obtained if the closed orbit of the single bunch is not the same as the one of the other bunches. Preliminary results are presented where the pinger magnet time impulse response has been significantly reduced while its frequency was increased from 3 Hz up to 1 kHz. This magnet is used as an additional corrector magnet to change only the single bunch closed orbit. First experimental results observed at one interested beamline are also discussed. S.

This concerns many aspects of the design and realization of the injection pulsed magnets (kickers and septa), their vacuum chambers, pulsed power supplies and timing electronics. Despite quite satisfactory results of pulsed magnetic measurements in labs, a still too large perturbation was observed on the e^- beam orbit during the Storage Ring commissioning. Therefore a strong work of systematic measurements, analysis of each phenomena, tuning or modification of each device was led until reaching rather good and acceptable performances. This paper will present the results obtained. At this stage, the Storage Ring beam orbit is sufficiently stable in Top Up injection mode so that it is almost transparent to the 24 beam lines, even for the most sensitive ones. After a summary of the main significant topics, we present the developments foreseen to further improve the performances and make a new step towards a “perfect” Top Up injection.

At SOLEIL, the time resolved French community benefits of single bunch operation few weeks a year. Meanwhile most of the multi-bunch filling pattern based experiments are not possible due to the low photon flux. Following the pioneer work performed at ALS*, a new operation mode is under study at SOLEIL where the storage ring is filled up with a special hybrid mode: ¾ multibunch filling pattern and a single bunch with higher current in the last ¼. The so-called pseudo single bunch-filling pattern is obtained if the closed orbit of the single bunch is not the same as the one of the other bunches. Preliminary results are presented where the pinger magnet time impulse response has been significantly reduced while its frequency was increased from 3 Hz up to 1 kHz. This magnet is used as an additional corrector magnet to change only the single bunch closed orbit. First experimental results observed at one interested beamline are also discussed.

From the beginning, the SOLEIL Storage Ring was designed to operate in Top Up injection mode. So all equipments involved have been specified to generate as small as possible beam perturbations of the stored beam during the electron beam injection. This concerns many aspects of the design and realization of the injection pulsed magnets (kickers and septa), their vacuum chambers, pulsed power supplies and timing electronics. Despite quite satisfactory results of pulsed magnetic measurements in labs, a still too large perturbation was observed on the e^- beam orbit during the Storage Ring commissioning. Therefore a strong work of systematic measurements, analysis of each phenomena, tuning or modification of each device was led until reaching rather good and acceptable performances. This paper will present the results obtained. At this stage, the Storage Ring beam orbit is sufficiently stable in Top Up injection mode so that it is almost transparent to the 24 beam lines, even for the most sensitive ones. After a summary of the main significant topics, we present the developments foreseen to further improve the performances and make a new step towards a “perfect” Top Up injection.
