Pohang Accelerator Laboratory and the 4th Generation Light Sourc

Jinhyuk Choi

Abstract

The Pohang Light Source (PLS) of Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), which was constructed in 1994, is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source user facility. It consists of 2.5 GeV linear accelerator and a storage ring with circumference of 280 m. Presently, 27 beamlines around the storage ring are in operation providing synchrotron radiations to users. In addition, PAL has a construction project of the 4th generation light source. In this paper, the operation status of the PLS is described and the prospect of the 4th generation light source is reviewed.
