Scientific applications and advantages of a low-energy synchrotron radiation source

Recent improvements to the synchrotron ultraviolet radiation facility led to unprecedented performance. High injection currents and beam stability, as well as tunable electron energies over a wide range make this storage ring a prime source for synchrotron radiation from the extreme‐ultraviolet to far‐infrared spectral regions. We will discuss plans to capitalize on this unprecedented performance through implementation of new experimental stations and extension of existing ones. It also will be shown that for applications using extreme‐ultraviolet to infrared synchrotron radiation a low electron energy storage ring has distinct advantages.
