The first electron beam of the High Energy Photon source (HEPS) was accelerated to 500 MeV with better than 2.5 nC of bunch charge by the Linac on March 14, which was a key milestone of the HEPS project—HEPS beam commissioning had begun.

At the beginning of 2023, with the last shielded bellows connected in the tunnel, installation of the booster for the HEPS accelerators was completed. This means that the whole booster line has been linked up and is ready for inter-system commissioning.

Recently, a team at the Institute of High Energy Physics has made a breakthrough in fabricating spherically bent crystal analyzers (SBCA), thus paving the way for the construction of the Hard X-ray High Energy Resolution Spectroscopy (“H2O”) beamline of t...

Construction of accelerators for the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) has made fundamental progress.

Mamba, a software framework to improve the use of next-generation synchrotron sources, was deployed in July at several beamlines of the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF), a first-generation synchrotron source operated by the Institute of High En...

Recently, 166 MHz and 500 MHz superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities for HEPS successfully completed vertical testing at the Platform of Advanced Photon Source Technology R&D (PAPS) in Huairou, Beijing. The performance of these cavities at cryogenic...

A fly-scan experiment on standard samples was successfully conducted by the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) Beam Instrumentation and Control Division's beamline control system in cooperation with the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF) 4W1B Stati...

With the installation of its electron gun, the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), the first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source in China and one of brightest fourth-generation synchrotron radiation facilities over the world, is brought into its

Scientists from IHEP have successfully developed an engineering prototype based on through-silicon-via technology (TSV), which significantly reduces the module gap and improves the low-energy X-ray response. The achievement indicates that IHEP has reached the

The domestically made WR1800 waveguide directional coupler prototype passed essential acceptance tests on July 29. This is a significant milestone in the development of the high-power radio frequency (RF) system for the High Energy Photon Source
