WEPC035 | Present Status of PF-ring and PF-AR in KEK | 2064 |
|
||
In KEK, we have two synchrotron light sources which were constructed in the early 1980s. One is the Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring) and the other is the Photon Factory advanced ring (PF-AR). The PF-ring is usually operated at 2.5 GeV and sometimes ramped up to 3.0 GeV to provide photons with the energy from VUV to hard X-ray region. The PF-AR is mostly operated in a single-bunch mode of 6.5GeV to provide pulsed hard X-rays. Operational performances of them have been upgraded through several reinforcements. After the reconstruction of the straight section of the PF-ring in 2005, two short-period-gap undulators have been stably operated. They allow us to produce higher brilliant hard X-rays even at the energy of 2.5 GeV. In March 2008, the circular polarized undulator will be installed in the long straight section of 8.9 m. In the PF-AR, new tandem undulators have been operated since September 2006 to generate much stronger pulsed hard X-rays for the sub-ns resolved X-ray diffraction experiments. In this conference, we report present status of the PF-ring and the PF-AR. |
