Description
The SAGA Light Source (SAGA-LS) is the first third-generation synchrotron light source designed, constructed and operated by the local government, Saga Prefecture, in Japan for the promotion of scientific researches and industrial applications in Kyushu area. The SAGA-LS consists of a 250-MeV electron linac injector and a 1.4-GeV storage ring with eight double-bend (DB) cell and eight 2.93-m long straight sections. The DB cell structure with a distributed dispersion system was chosen to produce a compact and low cost ring of 75.6-m long circumference. The commissioning began on August 24, 2004. The first synchrotron light was observed on November 12. The commissioning goal of 1.4 GeV-100 mA was achieved on August 25, 2005. The SAGA-LS was opened to users in February 17, 2006. (author)
