- Abstract
- We discuss recent advances in instrumentation for high resolution inelastic x-ray scattering and nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation at BL35XU. Notable points are demonstration of the backscattering monochromator performance over long scan ranges, significant improvements in analyzer crystal perfection and a setup for nuclear scattering from the 25.6 keV resonance of 161Dy. The last includes a new compact optical design yielding 2×108 photons/sec into a 0.52 meV bandwidth at 25.6 keV and a detector with ~200 ps time resolution and ~20% efficiency at 25.6 keV.

- Abstract
- The installation of the R&D beamline III (BL38B1) was started from November 2000. The X-ray source of BL38B1 is a bending magnet and mirror-focused monochromatic beam is useful for both XAFS and protein crystallography. A wide range of X-ray energy with the mirror angle of 0 to 3.2 mrad is available for many purposes such as XAFS experiment, optics and detector development, and design of new experimental technique. A CCD X-ray detector for protein crystallography have been installed. This beamline is open for SPring-8 staff and public users from 2001A.

- Abstract
- The number of IDs installed in the storage ring as of January 2001 is 23, which corresponds to about two thirds of the number of straight sections available for IDs. Most of the ID beamlines adopt IDs called standard in-vacuum undulators with the periodic length of 32 mm, which can supply hard x rays between 5 and 80 keV using up to the 5th harmonic. As for other beamlines, very exotic devices such as helical, figure-8 or revolver undulators are adopted to provide special polarization states, very high flux, or very wide energy range. In this report, the status of IDs is presented including recent topics concerning the ID construction at SPring-8.

- Abstract
- The geometry of carbon cages(fullerenes) is governed by the isolated pentagon rule(IPR), which states that the most stable fullerenes are those in which all pentagons are surrounded by five hexagons. Although this rule has been verified experimentally, it is impossible for fullerenes in the range C60 to C70 to obey it. Here we describe the structure determination of the IPR-violating metallofullerene, Sc2@C66, a C66 fullerene encaging a scandium dimmer, by the synchrotron radiation powder method using Large Debye-Scherrer Camera at BL02B2 in SPring-8. The results indicate that encapsulation of the metal dimmer significantly stabilizes this extremely unstable C66 fullerene.

- Abstract
- The sixth symposium on accelerator's power supply system was held on 15th and 16th November 2000 at SPring-8 PR-Center conference room. More than 70 people attended. Many presentations and discussions about, for example, IGBT switching mode power supply for magnets, noise reduction technics, high precision current control technics of accelerators, and so on, have done. Before this symposium, an investigative tour for Hyogo Ion Beam Medical Center, NewSUBARU facility, and SPring-8 facility was held. Announces and registrations for this symposium have been done using only an e-mail and www home page on the Internet.
