It is in a building with a futuristic snail-shaped roof, located in an eighteen-hectare campus at Shanghai National Synchrotron Radiation Centre, on the Zhang-Jiang High-Tech Abstract Park in Pudong.[1]

[edit] Construction

It has a circumference of 432 metres, and is designed to operate at 3.5GeV, the highest energy of any synchrotron other than the Big Three facilities (SPring-8, ESRF and APS). It will initially have eight beamlines.

The particle accelerator cost 1.2 billion yuan (US$176 million). It is China's biggest light facility.[1]

The synchrotron opened to universities, scientific institutes and companies for approved research in May 2009.[1]
