Ramping efficiency studies in the LNLS synchrotron light source

The 1.37 GeV LNLS UVX electron storage ring has a 120 MeV injector linac. Once stored, the electron beam must be ramped up to the nominal operation energy. In order to minimize current loss, orbit and tune corrections have been implemented along the energy ramp. In this report, we present a description of the energy ramping process, performance, orbit and tune corrections.
