  The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), an intermediate energy storage ring based third generation light source, is under commissioning at a site in Shanghai Zhang-Jiang Hi-Tech Park. The ground breaking of this project was made on Dec.25, 2004, and on Dec.24, 2007 electron beam was stored and accumulated in the SSRF storage ring. Since then the accelerator commissioning and beamline installation have been being continued toward the scheduled user operation from May 2009. This paper presents an overview of the SSRF status and its machine commissioning progress.

  This paper provides an update on the progress with the building and commissioning of the Energy Recovery Linac Prototype (ERLP). The past year has seen a number of notable achievements as well as a number of obstacles to overcome. The detailed results from the gun commissioning work are described elsewhere at this conference. ERLP is a 35 MeV technology demonstrator being built as part of the UK's R&D programme to develop its next-generation light source (NLS). It is based on a combination of a DC photocathode electron gun, a superconducting injector linac and a main linac operating in energy recovery mode. These drive an IR-FEL, an inverse Compton Back-Scattering (CBS) x-ray source and a terahertz beamline. The priorities for ERLP are to gain experience of operating a photoinjector gun and superconducting linacs; to produce and maintain high-brightness electron beams; to achieve energy recovery from an FEL-disrupted beam; the development of an electro-optic longitudinal profile monitor and to study challenging synchronisation issues. ERLP will also act as an injector for what will be the world's first non-scaling, Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator called EMMA.
