Title : SSRF current and future: Opportunity and challenge

Abstract:
The plan for SSRF Beamline Phase-II Project started in 2008. Optimization on resources allocation were done in the form of surveys on synchrotron radiation development trend overseas, collecting beamline recommendations nationwide, visiting user groups and various comprehensive or featured workshops with the involvement of 450 institutions and 1700 individuals. The current proposed construction plan to build sixteen new advanced beamlines, to upgrade the performance of accelerator and to match complement user supports was consolidated on the basis of 149 proposals with 163 suggestions. This plan passed the CAS-organized review on October 16th 2012. Expert working groups (EWG) have been founded one by one for each proposed beamline since then. Through EWG serial meetings and sequential follow-ups, in particular the workshop regarding SSRF impact on regional industries held on November 26, 2013, the SSRF Phase-II beamline project has now a better defined goal: Targeting scientific frontier needs and strengthening its pillar and guiding role in science and technologies for strategic emergent industries in China.
SSRF Phase-II Beamline Project will pursuit sophisticated abilities in the direction of high energy resolution, high spatial resolution and high element-sensitivity as well as new opportunities through combination of different photon energy ranges. It consists of new sixteen advanced beamlines, user experimental supports, beamline technique supports and machine upgrade, aiming to improve substantially experimental research capabilities particularly for energy science, environment science, material science, life science, and earth science etc. To be forged are the significant upgrading of the experimental capabilities in the following eight aspects: higher spatial resolution (10nm), faster time resolution (100ps), higher energy resolution (<meV), higher chemical sensitivity (1ppb) and single atom level detection capability, multiple scale (nm~cm) structural analysis, multiple level (100ps~1000s) dynamic analysis, multiple elements ingredients in-situ analysis, hazardous material study (bio-virus, radioactive materials etc).
The proposed construction period for the SSRF Phase-II Beamline Project is six years. This project is undergoing the review by the government and anticipated to be approved within this year.
