Abstract
In the world there are now about 43 laboratories in 16 countries engaged in the operation, construction or planning of electron storage rings, from a few hundred MeV to above 10 GeV, as sources of synchrotron radiation for basic and applied research. In this report we describe the new third generation high energy (i.e. hard X-ray) sources. The first of these, the 6 GeV European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France started operation in mid 1992. The 7 GeV Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne, USA and the 8 GeV Super Photon Ring (SPring-8) in Nishi Harima, Japan are expected to start operation for users around 1996–1998.
