Compact Synchrotron Light Source AURORA

Abstract

We have been developing compact SR source since mid 1980’s. The first AURORA, which is the superconducting SR ring, was transferred to Ritsumeikan University in 1996. The following machine AURORA—2 has the normal-conducting high field (2.7 T) magnets for the bending magnets. There exists two versions; the one is AURORA—2D, a version having quadrupole Doublets and the other AURORA—2S, a version having quadrupole Singlets. HiSOR at Hiroshima University is the A2D-type and was built in 1997. One A2S exists in our Tanashi works and is supplying SR-photons to the users over 2000 hours a year.
