Abstract :
The specification and the layout of the synchrotron of SPring-8 were decided. The synchrotron is designed to accelerate electron or positron beams from 1 GeV to 8 GeV with a repetition cycle of 1 Hz. The injection method of the 1-6 GeV beam from the linac is adopted to be a single-turn technique on-axis into the synchrotron. The input power of 250 kW into the cavity was achieved in 1991, and a rise time of less than 100 nsec in the kicker was succeeded in 1992. The construction of the synchrotron was started in the fiscal year 1993, and will be completed in 1997.
