Abstract:
The energy-switchable storage ring (ESSR) is proposed as a light source that achieves high-brilliance synchrotron radiation across a wide wavelength range, from vacuum ultraviolet to hard X-rays, and efficient power consumption. The ESSR facilitates the effective operation of large-scale systems required for large experimental apparatus and stringent safety management. It also significantly improves research quality by enabling a more precise understanding of sample states, particularly subtle differences in experimental conditions that are difficult to reproduce fully.
