This fourth volume “2000/2001” covers advances made during the two consecutive research terms, the second half of 2000 and the first half of 2001. In this volume we made some modifications to the editorial framework. The classification of scientific reports was changed from the grouping of the research fields used at the Proposal Review Committee to that of general research disciplines. The article on the facility status in this volume was written in more detail, since the SPring-8 Annual Report, which used to describe the status and activities of the facilities in English is now written in Japanese and we hope that English-speaking u s e r w i l l s u b s t i t u t e t h e S P r i n g - 8 R e s e a r c h F r o n t i e r s f o r t h e S P r i n g - 8 A n n u a l R e p o r t f o r t h e i r reference.
