The High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) is a new accelerator complex under constructed at IMP (Huizhou campus) China. It aims to provide an international-class experimental platform for fundamental research in nuclear physics, atomic physics, and applied heavy ion beam research. The 2-kilometer beamline, installed in an underground tunnel 12.7 meters below ground, comprises...
LoKI a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument under construction at ESS, addressing the needs of the soft matter, biophysics and materials science communities. It is optimised for small sample gauge volumes and a wide simultaneously measured size range. This instrument is an in-kind contribution from UK, with STFC serving as the host facility, assuming full responsibility for the...
The SOLEIL synchrotron, which has been open to the scientific community since 2008, will benefit from an upgrade aimed at improving the brilliance, coherence, and flux of the X-ray beam delivered. This will make it possible to follow biological processes or the functioning of devices operating at sub-millisecond timescales at nanometric resolution, while sharply reducing the detection limit...
The development of the 3 GeV synchrotron light source in Thailand represents a major advancement in national scientific infrastructure, aiming to provide high-brightness synchrotron radiation for broad scientific and industrial applications. The installation of core accelerator systems, including magnet systems, vacuum systems, and girder systems, requires micrometer-level precision to ensure...
The Korea Fourth-Generation Storage Ring (Korea-4GSR) is under construction in Chungju, Korea, aiming for ultra-low emittance at 4 GeV. Korea-4GSR employs pill-type getters strategically positioned within its vacuum chambers as an alternative to Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) coatings commonly used in similar facilities. This design choice offers simplified manufacturing processes and ease of...
LCLS will be employing high-power femtosecond pulse lasers concurrent with the high energy beamline upgrade. At the X-ray pump-probe (XPP) instrument, the laser travels through a 40-meter long conditioning system from its source to the interaction point on the end station. This Modular Optical Distribution System (MODS) provides the supporting infrastructure for capabilities such as pulse...
