Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) Note: The Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS), at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington, closed in 2008 (August 4th), after 28 years of operation and two million hours of science. Daresbury Laboratory The Daresbury Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) is a world class facility dedicated to the exploitation of Synchrotron Radiation (SR) for fundamental and applied research. The SRS offers a large mix of experimental facilities which deliver radiation with wavelengths extending from the infrared to hard X-rays. Techniques available include X-ray diffraction, X-ray spectroscopy (XAFS), small-angle/wide-angle scattering, soft X-ray spectroscopy, photoemission, and imaging. The SRS is a 2GeV electron storage ring, operated solely for the provision of synchrotron radiation (synchrotron light) for multiple simultaneous user experiments. It routinely operates at high circulating currents (150-250mA) and long lifetimes(>24 hours), typically providing 4,500 hours per year of user beam with outstanding stability and reproducibility.
