Abstract :
The South Hall Ring at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center is a 1 GeV electron ring for nuclear physics experiments. It is designed to operate in two modes: as a pulse stretcher to deliver high duty factor beams to external targets, and as a storage ring for internal target experiments. To date we have injected beam into the ring using one and two-turn injection, stored beam with a lifetime of several minutes, and achieved early results performing half-integer resonant extraction from the ring in pulse stretcher mode. Experience in commissioning the ring is presented. Future plans for extraction, improved storage and backgrounds, and spin control and measurement in the ring, are also discussed
