SPring 8 – New FEL machine makes first Lasing

“Some of you already know, our new FEL machine made first lasing at 1.2 Angstrom on June 7 evening time. We had  so many troubles during beam commissioning, while 64 C-band klystrons were running nicely. After three month fight we came to this result. Reality is always hard, but we can make it if we continue to do so. ” – Tsumoru Shintake
