The ESRF's 6 GeV storage ring (SR), commissioned in 1992 and known as the world's first third-generation light source, will be shut down in December 2018 after more than 24 years of reliable user operation. Within one year it will be replaced by an ultra-low emittance 6 GeV ring, which will provide the ESRF with the first Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) for hard X-rays. Almost all of the...

The Iranian Light Source Facility project (ILSF) is a third generation light source with a 3GeV ultra low-emittance storage ring. A thermionic-cathode RF gun will provide the electrons for 150MeV Linac based pre-injector. The cold test results of the first fabricated prototype are in good agreement with the simulation results. Motivated by MAX-IV RF system development at lower frequency,...

The European XFEL is a X-ray laser which uses a 17.5GeV electron beam to generate X-ray light of unprecedented properties. The electrons are accelerated by a linear accelerator which uses 808 superconducting cavities at 1.3GHz. 27 RF stations produce RF power up to 10MW each at 1.4ms pulse width and 10Hz repetition rate to accelerate the electrons in the cavities with gradients of average...
