10 years of Aichi Synchrotron Radiation Center Impact on industrial and academic research and developments

The synchrotron light source with the electron energy of 1.2 GeV is operated by Aichi Synchrotron Radiation Centre (AichiSR) in Aichi prefecture, Japan. The light has been offered to industrial and academic users since March 2013 in the top-up operation mode to maintain a constant current of 300 mA. This facility was established by Aichi prefecture, universities, and industries with support of government. Major purpose of the light source is to support research and development activities of industries and academia mostly in the area, which is the heart land of manufacturing of Japan. This paper describes evolution of the beamlines and recent research results and their impact to the society.
