SPring-8 is a synchrotron radiation facility in Sayo Town, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, the main facility of the Harima Science Garden City. Developed jointly by RIKEN and the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, it is owned and managed by RIKEN and run under commission by the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute. Its storage ring holds an 8 GeV electron beam that passes through insertion devices to produce synchrotron radiation ranging from soft to hard X-rays, which many Japanese manufacturers and universities use for materials analysis and biochemical protein characterization.
