Status of the SLC Damping Rings

Electron beams of full design energy 1.21 GeV and nearly full design intensity 4×1010 particles/pulse (design 5×1010) have been extracted from the Stanford Linac and successfully stored in the electron damping ring. Beams of less intensity have been extracted from the ring and reinjected into the Linac. The present intensity limits are not thought to be fundamental. The operating experience with the electron ring and the status of the construction of the positron ring will be discussed.
