Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) –Helios II
National University of Singapore (NUS)
SSLS has got a compact superconducting storage ring with 700 MeV electron energy and 4.5 T bending field to produce synchrotron radiation. The characteristic photon energy and wavelength are 1.47 keV and 0.845 nm, respectively.
The useful spectrum extends from about 10 keV down to the Far Infrared at wavenumbers of less than 10 cm-1.
The development of advanced synchrotron radiation instrumentation is focused on the superconductive miniundulator. Being part of the microtron undulator radiation facility (MURF) it will produce tunable brilliant light in the 2 to 50 eV spectral range for surface science and nanoscale microscopy.
