高能同步辐射光源通过工艺验收

Core Viewpoint - The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) has passed its process acceptance, marking a significant advancement in China's synchrotron radiation capabilities and establishing it as the first fourth-generation synchrotron radiation source in Asia [1][2]. Group 1: Project Overview - HEPS is the first high-energy synchrotron radiation source in China and the first fourth-generation synchrotron radiation source in Asia [1][2]. - The project was initiated in June 2019 and has been constructed by the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences [4]. Group 2: Technical Specifications - HEPS consists of an accelerator and beamline stations, capable of accommodating at least 90 high-performance beamline stations, with 14 user beamlines and 1 test beamline in the first phase [4]. - It can provide X-rays with an energy of up to 300,000 electron volts [4]. Group 3: Performance and Applications - The expert review group noted that HEPS has achieved leading international performance levels for similar devices, facilitating a generational leap in China's synchrotron radiation sources [2]. - HEPS will support major national strategic needs and research in key core technologies, aiding in various fields such as engineering materials, microelectronics, new drug development, petrochemicals, energy environment, and nanomaterials [4]. Group 4: Impact on Research and Development - HEPS is described as a "super eye" for exploring the microscopic world, capable of emitting light 10 trillion times brighter than the sun, enhancing researchers' ability to understand the microstructure and evolution of materials [2]. - The project is expected to cultivate high-level talent and provide strong support for addressing major scientific challenges and technological innovations [2].
