Abstract:
SPring-8 is a third-generation synchrotron radiation source operating in the soft and hard X-ray region. It consists of an injector linac of 1 GeV, a booster synchrotron of 8 GeV and a storage ring with a natural emittance of 5.9 nm rad. The storage ring can accommodate 61 beamlines in total, and 26 of them are under construction. The project has been carried out jointly by JAERI and RIKEN and construction of the facility started in 1991. Commissioning of the injector linac was started in August 1996 and an 8 GeV electron beam was injected into the storage ring in March 1997. The first synchrotron radiation from a bending magnet was observed at the front end of the beamline on 25 March and radiation from an undulator was observed on 23 April. On-beam testing of seven beamlines, four of them from in-vacuum undulators and three from bending magnets, started in July. The maximum stored current is currently fixed at 20 mA and the lifetime at maximum current is longer than 20 h. The dedication is scheduled for October 1997.

Midrange
Simply put, the midrange is half of the data set’s range. Similar to the mean, the midrange is sensitive to the extreme values and hence the prospective outliers. However, unlike the mean, the midrange is not sensitive to all the values of the data set that lie in the middle. Thus, it is prone to outliers and...
