IPAC'23 - Particle Accelerator Projects and Upgrades

IPAC’23 / PARTICLE ACCELERATOR PROJECTS AND UPGRADES 64 Project Region Asia and Australasia Project Location China Project Type New Project Project Description Hefei Advanced Light Source (HALF) is the first low-energy fourth-generation synchrotron radiation source in China. It consists of a 2.2GeV storage ring with a circumference of 480m and a 6BA lattice structure, and a full energy injector with a thermal-cathode electron gunÔºåhosting up to 35 beamlines. HALF will be developed and constructed by the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory of the University of Science and Technology of China. It can strongly support scientific research in key fields such as functional and quantum materials, integrated circuits, energy materials, chemistry and chemical engineering, and major diseases, and help the high-quality development of related industries.
