The Pohang Light Source (PLS), the ®rst large-scale accelerator complex in Korea, is a national users facility for basic and applied science research using synchrotron radiation. It consists of a 2 GeV linac as a full-energy injector and a low-emittance storage ring. The PLS linac is 150 m long with eleven 80 MW klystrons for a high accelerating gradient; the storage ring has the TBA-lattice with 12 super-periods and a 280 m circumference. Since the accelerators were commissioned in December 1994, the annual operation time exceeded 4600 h in 1996, and the user service time is expected to reach 3500 h in 1997. The facility was opened to general users in 1995 with two beamlines. Six beamlines are now operating: white-beam, NIM for ARUPS and gas-phase, photoemission spectroscopy, EXAFS, X-ray diffraction and lithography. Our long-term plan is to construct three new beamlines every year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
