High-energy synchrotron facility installs its first piece of accelerator
The High Energy Photon Source, China's first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source, installed its first piece of accelerator equipment in Beijing on Monday, marking a milestone in the construction of a major scientific instrument that will be used to probe the microstructure of materials for basic research and engineering.
Monday also saw the launch of the Platform of Advanced Photon Source Technology Research and Development. The 42,640-square-meter facility is adjacent to HEPS and serves as a testing ground for research and experimental instruments before they are installed in the light source.
