ESRF-EBS marks a paradigm shift in synchrotron

technology. At its core is an innovative and award-winning

hybrid multi-bend achromat lattice, which delivers ultra-

low emittance and exceptional beam stability. With a

horizontal emittance of just 135 pm.rad, ESRF-EBS

achieves up to 100 times higher brilliance and 40 times

greater coherence than its predecessor.

ESRF-EBS has also redefined operational efficiency by

integrating machine learning for optimisation of the

accelerator and beamlines, and implementing AI-driven

solutions for data management. To further improve overall

reliability and performance, cutting-edge developments

are continually underway, including a booster upgrade

to reduce emittance, a fourth harmonic radiofrequency

cavity system for greater stability, and new undulator

prototypes to further increase brightness and coherence.

Beyond performance, ESRF-EBS sets new standards

for both reliability and sustainability. The new hot swap

system, which covers all the quadrupole, sextupole, and

octupole magnets of the EBS storage ring, enhances

operational robustness, while a planned injector upgrade

will further improve overall efficiency. The electricity

consumption of the accelerators has been reduced by

more than 50 compared to the previous machine and the

introduction of an Electricity Consumption Optimisation

ECO operational mode contributes to a more sustainable

synchrotron model

With ongoing upgrades and continuous futureoriented

improvements ESRFEBS remains at the forefront of

technological advancement empowering researchers

with superior capabilities to explore the frontiers of

knowledge and innovation
