The SPring-8 upgrade plan has been discussed. The main goal is to replace the storage ring in the existing tunnel so that the resulting emittance will get as close to the diffraction limit in hard x-ray region as possible. For 10 keV photons, for instance, the diffraction limit corresponds to the emittance of as small as 10 pm.rad. For the challenging goal, the new ring features a multi-bend lattice with damping wigglers, which presumably enables us to reduce an emittance by two orders of magnitudes or more compared with the current double-bend lattice without damping wigglers. Up to now, a six-bend lattice has been mainly studied, which is supposed to generate a natural emittance of 60–70 pm.rad for 6 GeV. In addition, damping wigglers and coupling control should assist to reduce the emittance even more for approaching the ultimate goal. The major modification requires not only an advanced lattice design via manipulation of non-linear beam dynamics but also extensive technological developments in almost every component such as magnets, monitors, and RF systems. The overall review of the upgrade plan, including some detailed discussions on the critical issues, will be presented.
