Description
Synchrotron Radiation (SR) is light emitted by circular electron or positron accelerators. Light emitted from a bending magnet has an unprecedented spectral brilliance over a wide range of wavelengths from the infrared to the hard X-ray region. The 'Third Generation SR Sources' produce light by introducing insertion devices (e.g. undulators, wigglers, multipole wigglers) tailored to optimise specific instruments and applications. The brilliance of the light emitted by these devices is several orders of magnitude greater compared to light produced by bending magnets.
The Spanish Government and the Autonomous Government of Catalunya have entered a partnership from which the creation of the Consortium for the Construction, Equipping and Exploitation of the Synchrotron Light Source (CEELLS) has resulted. CEELLS has been given the budget and the responsibility to build a Third Generation Synchrotron Light Source primarily for the Spanish User Community. The project essentially started at the end of 2003. CEELLS is currently in the process of recruiting the team and refining the parameters of the complex of accelerators to deliver the best possible photon source within the approved budget and time scale.
This presentation will address the current status of the project; how we are proceeding with the accelerator design to optimise the emittance within a fixed budget and time scale and how we propose to choose the five initial beam-lines that are already funded within the initial capital project.
