SPring-8

SPring -8 (Super Photon ring -8 GeV ) is a synchrotron in Harima Science Park in the Japanese prefecture of Hyogo. In his storage ring with a circumference of 1436 m electrons are injected with an energy of 8 giga ( GeV ). This SPring -8 is one of the world's most powerful synchrotron. At a total of 56 stations can be performed experiments with synchrotron radiation, the focus is on X-ray diffraction with photon energies of 10 to 100 keV, the total energy available ranges from 12 meV to 2.9 GeV.
