Research Frontiers 2019 Research Frontiers 2019 97 The SPring-8 storage ring can accommodate up to 62 beamlines: 34 insertion devices, 4 long undulators, and 24 bending magnets. At present, 57 beamlines are in operation, covering a wide variety of research fields involving synchrotron radiation science and technology. The beamlines are classified into the following three types: (1) Public Beamlines (26 beamlines operating), (2) Contract Beamlines (18 beamlines operating), and (3) RIKEN Beamlines (13 beamlines operating). There are now 26 public beamlines in full operation. The beamlines that were proposed and constructed by external organizations, such as universities, research institutes, private companies, and consortiums, are called contract beamlines and exclusively used by contractors for their own research purposes. At present, 18 contract beamlines are in operation. The beamlines constructed by RIKEN except for public beamlines are called RIKEN beamlines and mainly used for RIKEN's own research activities, with partial availability for public use. RIKEN is now operating 13 beamlines. III. Beamlines Fig. 2. Beamline map. Main Bldg.
