  • Abstract
    The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a third-generation synchrotron light source designed to produce extremely bright beams of synchrotron radiation in the energy range of from a few electronvolts to 10 KeV. The design is based on a 1-1.9-GeV electron storage ring (optimized at 1.5 GeV), and utilizes special magnets, known as undulators and wigglers (collectively referred to as insertion devices), to generate the radiation. The facility is scheduled to begin operating in April 1993. The authors describe the progress in design, construction, and commissioning of the accelerator systems, insertion devices, and beamlines.<>
