     The storage ring is a circular accelerator for light sources and its circumference is 1436 m long. A normal cell is about 30 m long and composed of 2 bending magnets, 10 quadrupole magnets and 7 sextupole magnets (Double-Bend Achromat, DBA). There is a straight section between normal cells and it is used for the installation of an insertion device (ID), RF acceleration cavities, beam injection system, beam diagnostic systems, etc. The total number of straight sections is 44.  Synchrotron radiation from a bending magnet is extracted at the upper course of the electron orbit in the magnet, and the specifications on the electron beams at the upstream bending magnet (B1) are slightly different from those at the downstream bending magnet (B2). The harmonic number (number of buckets) is 2436. We can select any bucket into which electron bunches are injected. We operate the storage ring with several filling patterns.
