Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry

Background:

  • SPring-8 is a third-generation synchrotron radiation source.
  • It operates in the soft and hard X-ray regions.
  • The facility includes a 1 GeV injector linac, an 8 GeV booster synchrotron, and a storage ring with 5.9 nm rad emittance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the commissioning and initial operation of the SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility.
  • To detail the successful integration of its major components.
  • To provide an update on the status of beamline development and testing.

Main Methods:

  • Commissioning of the injector linac, booster synchrotron, and storage ring.
  • Injection of an 8 GeV electron beam into the storage ring.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Observation and testing of synchrotron radiation from bending magnets and undulators.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful commissioning of the injector linac, booster synchrotron, and storage ring.
    • First observation of synchrotron radiation on March 25, 1997 (bending magnet) and April 23, 1997 (undulator).
    • On-beam testing of seven beamlines commenced in July 1997, with a maximum stored current of 20 mA and a lifetime exceeding 20 hours.

    Conclusions:

    • The SPring-8 facility has achieved operational status.
    • Initial results demonstrate the successful generation of synchrotron radiation.
    • The facility is poised to support advanced scientific research across multiple disciplines.
