The high brightness of synchrotron radiation produced by storage rings has enhanced research capability by factors of 10/sup 6/ to 10/sup 8/, from the ultraviolet to the x-ray region. There has been a steady growth in synchrotron radiation research of interest in physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and the other physical sciences and their associated technologies. A large number of university, government, and industrial research organizations are utilizing this new capability at existing facilities. In the process, new partnerships have been created among these communities that have enabled each to contribute its expertise and to obtain its needed capability. A 6-giga-electron volt storage ring, designed for use with periodic magnetic insertion devices called wigglers and undulators, has been proposed; such a facility could provide further enhancements of 10/sup 4/ to 10/sup 6/ in capability and could double the synchrotron radiation research capacity in the US. This enhanced capability and capacity will provide new opportunities for a broad range of scientific and technological interests. 40 references, 4 figures.
