Abstract:
The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a third generation light source of 3.5GeV electron energy, aimed at producing very brilliant X-ray and soft X-ray beams to facilitate the researches in life science, material science, earth and environmental sciences, and many other fields. The construction of SSRF started in December of 2004 and was completed by the end of April 2009. During the commissioning stage, the main parameters of accelerators and beamlines were measured with the conclusion that all the design specifications of accelerators have been met and all the beamlines have reached the requirements for user operation. The user operation of SSRF started in May of 2009 and it has provide more than 2000 hours beamtime for each beamline to about 1000 users last year. About 4000 hours beamtimes for each beamline will provide to users in 2010.
At present, seven beamlines have been built on SSRF as the phase I beamlines:
| 1) | Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline |
| 2) | X-ray Diffraction Beamline |
| 3) | X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Beamline |
| 4) | Hard X-ray Micro-focusing Beamline |
| 5) | X-ray Imaging and Biomedical Applications Beamline |
| 6) | Soft X-ray Spectromicroscopy Beamline |
| 7) | Small Angle X-ray Scattering Beamline |
In this talk, an overview of SSRF construction and the commissioning of SSRF Phase I beamlines will be introduced. Some preliminary experimental results obtained since the user operation will be shown and the future beamline programs will be introduced as well.
Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
