ELSA (Electron Stretcher and Accelerator) operates in two different modes. Up to the maximum energy of the synchrotron it works at a constant magnetic field. The electrons from the synchrotron which runs at 50 Hz repetition rate are injected, stored, and ejected at a constant rate. In this operation mode the macroscopic duty cycle is 95 % at least. In the operation mode of post acceleration which is possible up to 3.5 GeV the duty cycle is reduced to 60 %. The intensity in this operation mode is 5 % of that in the stretcher mode. Higher intensities are available at lower duty cycle. ELSA mainly is dedicated to feed a tagged photon facility.
