The image obtained with the LEP synchrotron
radiation telescopes deteriorates, giving multiple and
deformed images, when the beam energy goes beyond
80 GeV at beam currents above 2 mA. This problem is
due to the deformation of the light extracting beryllium
mirror, by as little as 1 mm, and had been predicted at
the design stage. To overcome this problem, several
changes together with an adaptive optics set-up have
been introduced. These essentially consist of a
cylindrically deformable mirror to compensate the
cylindrical deformation of the beryllium mirror and a
movable detector to compensate the spherical
deformation. Both components are continuously
adjusted as a function of beam current and energy.
