Name：	Taiwan Light Source (TLS)
Site：	National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) (Hsinchu)
Startup year：	1993
Type：	Electron synchrotron
Energy：	1.5 GeV

The accelerator systems of TLS comprise a 1.5-GeV injector and a 1.5-GeV storage ring. Starting with 3 beamlines in 1993, TLS is now equipped with 27 beamlines, 8 insertion devices and 32 experimental stations altogether. In year 2005, several major upgrades of the accelerator have been completed, as initiated a few years ago, including installation of superconducting RF cavity, superconducting wigglers, bunch-by-bunch feedback, and changing to top-up mode operation. These upgrades have made the TLS a world-class facility. Our immediate goal is to fully utilize our significant resources to further stimulate scientific research using beamlines at both TLS and SPring-8.

Name：	Taiwan Photon Source (TPS)
Site：	National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) (Hsinchu)
Startup year：	scheduled in 2013
Type：	Electron synchrotron
Energy：	3 GeV

The TPS will be equipped with an accelerator of 3 GeV electron energy, 518.4 meters in circumference, and a low-emittance synchrotron storage ring. As part of the major advanced scientific research projects under National Science Council in Taiwan, the new facility (TPS) will be built at the current site, sitting next to NSRRC existing facility. Since the first official proposal of TPS submitted to governmental institutes of authority in 2006, conceptual design of major systems have been completed, and currently 3 systems are under construction stage, namely Linac, cryogenic system and RF transmitter, with remaining waiting for open bid or outsourcing for production.
