SSRL will enter a new era of synchrotron radiation experimentation with the
completion of the SPEAR 3 upgrade project this Fall. The 3rd generation SPEAR
3 storage ring will produce beams having one to two orders of magnitude higher
brightness and flux density than the old SPEAR 2 ring, accommodate several new
high performance insertion devices and beam lines, and be capable of top-off
operation by virtue of its improved at-energy injection system. The project
completely replaces the SPEAR vacuum chamber, magnets, support rafts, RF, power
supplies, cable plant and shielding tunnel floor in a 7-month shutdown period
that began March 31 of this year. The status of the 4-year, 58 M$ upgrade
project will be reviewed.
