アブストラクト: Australian use of synchrotron radiation research techniques has grown steadily since the early 1990’s via access to overseas facilities provided by the Australian Synchrotron Research Program (ASRP). A fast developing and maturing synchrotron user community has grown up around the ASRP facilities at the Photon Factory, the APS and the NSRRC. The ASRP program at the Photon Factory, centered on the Australian National Beamline Facility (BL20B) has been particularly important and productive, and continues to host over 50 research groups each year. The logical next step to this successful “suitcase science” program was the construction of a synchrotron light source facility in Australia. The Australian Synchrotron is a 3 GeV third generation facility, which is located adjacent to Monash University in Melbourne, Victoria. The storage ring has been operating since 2006, and the first user experiments began in 2007. The project funding included an initial suite of nine beamlines including dedicated Protein Crystallography, EXAFS, powder diffraction, SAXS/WAXS, micro-beam and soft X-ray spectroscopy beamlines. The first five beamlines were assembled in early 2007, and are now either operational or undergoing advanced commissioning. The remaining four beamlines are under construction and will be delivered in mid-2008.
