High-brilliance project of the Photon Factory storage ring

The 2.5-GeV Photon Factory storage ring has been reconstructed to the low-emittance lattice configuration. The new lattice will result in a higher brilliance of the synchrotron radiation, typically by one order of magnitude at the insertion device beamlines.

Note:

1) Under the new lattice configuration, we can operate with three low-emittance optics (90, 105 and 135 degrees/cell) and another medium-emittance optics which is very similar to the old optics.

2) The PF storage ring is initially commissioned under the medium-emittance optics. This allows us to restart the user runs very quickly. The low-emittance optics will be investigated and tuned after that.
