In December 27, four beamlines at the Phase-II project at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) passed the process test and stared the trail operation, which signified that a total of 11 beamlines and 20 experimental stations have been constructed and put in operation at SSRF.

From December 25 to 27, CAS Bureau of Condition Guarantee and Finance organized process test at newly built beamlines at SSRF. A panel of experts from 13 CAS institutes and universities were invited to listen to the report and conduct on-site test. The experts concluded that all indexes met the acceptance criteria and some were even better than the design indicators and these beamlines have started trial operation.  

The construction of SSRF Beamline Project progresses as planned and substantial progress has been made. in 2021, a total of 7 beamlines have completed the process test organized by the: Nano Spin and Magnetics Beamline, P2 Bioprotective Protein Crystallography Beamline, X-Ray Imaging and Biomedical Application Beamline, Laser Gamma Beamline, 3D Nano Imaging Beamline, Fast X-Ray Imaging Beamline, High-Performance Membrane Protein Crystallography Beamline. Up to now, a total of 11 beamlines and 20 experimental stations have been constructed.

SSRF Phase-II Beamline Project was officially started on November 20, 2016 and is expected to be completed in 2022. The construction content of the project includes the construction of 16 new beamlines which could greatly enhance the experimental capabilities and expand the application fields, the Light Source Improvements, the Labs for BL engineering, Utilities and buildings.

Through innovative design, the Phase-II Beamline Project aims to comprehensively improve the scientific and technological source planning ability at SSRF, and better serve the world's scientific and technological frontier and national strategic needs.
