Large-scale SR facilities around the world are constantly evolving, providing super brilliant and super directive X-rays. Consequently, a new range of applications in the nano-disciplines has been created. Since 2012, we have been pursuing a low emittance 3 GeV synchrotron radiation facility project: SLiT-J (Synchrotron Light in Tohoku, Japan). After extended deliberations, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan decided to initiate construction of the new 3 GeV facility on the campus of Tohoku University. The construction and operation of the facility will be carried out by a new organization. It is a combined public–private regional partnership, in which the partners are the National Institute of Quantum Radiological Science & Technology (QST), Tohoku University, Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai-City; the Tohoku Economic Federation; and the Photon Science Innovation Center. Funding comes from private sector investments, local governments, and MEXT through QST.}, pages = {26--30}, title = {The Next Generation 3GeV Synchrotron Radiation Facility Project in Japan}, volume = {29}, year = {2019} }
