National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar

"The ESRF Upgrade: Bigger, Better, Smaller, Faster, Higher"

Presented by Edward Mitchell, ESRF, France

Thursday, June 5, 2008, 2:00 pm — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

The ESRF is the first third-generation storage ring light source; it will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the signature of the Convention between the twelve original Member countries later this year. In these 20 years synchrotron science has changed enormously, and the use of synchrotron light has become knitted firmly into many types of science, the number of which continues to grow with new user communities arriving on the synchrotron scene. With this progression, and unprecedented demand on its facilities, the ESRF has now reached the limits of its current infrastructure and requires a step increase in its capacity and resources. As a result, an ambitious upgrade programme of the ESRF is under development: a ten-year plan to greatly enhance the ESRF and to maintain its beamlines at state-of-the-art, and to be able to respond to the requirements of new science in the coming ten to twenty years.
