SPring-8

SPring-8 ( Super Photon ring-8 GeV ) is a synchrotron in Harima Science Park in the Japanese prefecture of Hyōgo and was built in 1999. In its storage ring with a circumference of 1436 m electrons with an energy of up to 8 giga electron volts (GeV) circulate. This makes SPring-8 one of the world's most powerful electron synchrotrons.

Experiments with synchrotron radiation can be carried out at 56 measuring stations . The focus is on X-ray diffraction with photon energies of 10 to 100  keV , corresponding to wavelengths of approx. 1.2-0.12 Å . Overall (not on one and the same beam line ) photons from 10 meV to 2.9 GeV are available.
