ASTRID2
ASTRID2 is a synchrotron light source at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Aarhus University. ASTRID2 was designed, constructed and is operated by the Centre for Storage Ring Facilities in Aarhus (ISA). The ASTRID2 synchrotron light source In 2008 ISA was awarded money to build a new high brilliance synchrotron storage ring, ASTRID2, to replace the older light source ASTRID (see below). The third generation light source generates synchrotron radiation to provide a tuneable beam of light, with wavelengths from the ultraviolet through to Soft X-ray, soft x-rays. It has a natural Beam emittance, emittance of 12 nm, more than ten times smaller than the old ASTRID source. Construction of the ring began in 2011 and by April 2012 the whole ring was under vacuum and ready for testing. The first beam was injected into the ASTRID2 ring on Monday the 14th of May 2012 and the first full turn of ASTRID2 was accomplished on Tuesday the 10th of July 2012. On the 2nd of Nov ...
