Help us Envision the FutureWe want to share the excitement and potential of the PEP-X project. As a light source PEP-X will be unlike any other storage ring, with a higher brightness and smaller emittance by far than any facility existing or under construction. But to move forward in a way that best serves the scientific community, the project needs your help. Future Opportunities at SSRLSPEAR3 will remain a forefront third generation synchrotron light sources for years to come but with new sources under construction or being planned world-wide it will gradually become less competitive towards the end of the next decade. The physical size (circumference) of SPEAR3 constitutes a barrier to upgrading it to achieve significantly higher brightness, which is required for the study of complex materials on the nano-scale, in combination with time and energy resolved measurements. Therefore the longer term future of SSRL is based on the transfer of the scientific programs from SPEAR3 to a higher-performing x-ray source, PEP-X. |
