摘要: The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a third generation synchrotron light source located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). There was an increasing demand the ALS for additional high brightness hard x-ray beamlines in 7 to 40 keV range. Inresponse that demand, storage ring modified inAugust 2001. Three 1.3 Tesla normal conducting bending magnets were removed and replaced with three 5 superconducting (Superbends). radiation produced by these Superbends order of magnitude higher photon flux 12 than bends, making them excellent sources x-rays protein crystallography other applications. At same time did not compromise performance facility VUV softx-ray regions spectrum. will eventually feed new beam lines greatly enhancing facility's capability capacity region. Superbend project biggest upgrade since it commissioned 1993. In this paper we present overview project, its challenges resulting impact on ALS.
