Planned shutdown of SPring-8 for SPring-8-II upgrade

SPring-8 will be shut down for approximately one year starting from August 2027 to allow replacement of the storage ring as part of the SPring-8-II upgrade, and there will be no calls for proposals for use of the facility during that period. More information on the start of SPring-8-II operations and the resumption of calls for proposals will be announced later.

For further details, please see the SPring-8/SACLA website.
