Paul Scherrer Institut Scientific Report 2001. Volume VII: Swiss Light Source

Abstract

The year 2001 saw the transfer of the SLS from construction to commissioning and operation. After having stored the first beam already in December 2000, from January 2001 on the commissioning of the full accelerator complex was restarted and continued up to July 2001, so that from August 1st on, 70% of the running time could be dedicated to user operation. On October 19th, the SLS was officially opened. An extraordinary ceremony took place, where several hundred guests were treated to a mixture of optical, acoustical and culinary delights. Major highlights in 2001 were the full commissioning of the accelerator systems, the achievement of all specified parameters of the storage ring and further optimisation of Linac und Booster in order to guarantee a reliable operation of the injection chain. Furthermore, operation of the four initial beamlines was started. Important progress was made in the optimization of the protein crystallography and material science beamlines, allowing the access of expert users during the second half of year 2001. A list of scientific publications in 2000 is also provided.
