Hefei Advanced Light Source linear accelerator successfully achieves beam output
According to IT Home, on September 20, the Hefei Advanced Light Source (HALF) linear accelerator in Hefei, Anhui, successfully achieved beam extraction, marking a key step in the project. The injector linear accelerator accelerated electron beams to a design energy of 2.2 GeV over a length of about 192 meters. IT Home notes this supports further injection into the storage ring and ongoing commissioning steps.
