University-of-Tokyo synchrotron radiation out-station project

The University of Tokyo (UT) made a decision to stop the project of the high-brilliance synchrotron radiation facility at Kashiwa campus, and organized UT Synchrotron Radiation Research Organization (SRRO) to promote materials science using high brilliance synchrotron radiation. The construction of a soft X-ray beamline at Spring-8 is now under way as the UT Out-station. The beamline at the long straight section at SPring-8 is for nano-beam photoemission spectroscopy, soft X-ray emission spectroscopy, time-resolved spectroscopy, photoemission electron microscopy, and soft X-ray imaging experiments. After the completion of the UT Out-station, the facility will be opened to public users. (author)
