SPring-8, the large synchrotron radiation facility

The MEDSI workshop started at Swiss Light Source in 2000. The state of the art and outlook were presented on mechanical engineering design of equipments and instrumentation in third generation light sources. It was followed by the second workshop at Advanced Photon Source in 2002 and by the third one at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in 2004. SPring-8 will host for fourth MEDSI workshop as a satellite meeting of SRI2006, covering the following scopes:

Novel designs of accelerator and beamline components
High precision positioning mechanisms
Vibration and mechanical stability
High heat load analysis and design
Opto-mechanical devices
Insertion devices, front ends and vacuum chambers
Modelling and experimental validation aspects
Sample environment specific conditioning
Automation related mechanics
