Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility is a synchrotron in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. It is in a building with a futuristic snail-shaped roof, located in an eighteen-hectare campus at Shanghai National Synchrotron Radiation Centre, on the Zhang-Jiang High-Tech Abstract Park in Pudong.
It has a circumference of 432 metres, and is designed to operate at 3.5GeV, the highest energy of any synchrotron other than the Big Three facilities (SPring-8, ESRF and APS). It will initially have eight beamlines.
As of 2007 it was under construction, with commissioning planned to begin at the end of 2008.
