A major milestone was marked in the construction of HEPS on August 18, 2024. Electron beams with currents higher than 10mA were successfully stored in the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) storage ring. This achievement signifies the completion of the accelerator complex and the start of beam commissioning.

On July 1, the last shielded bellows was connected in the tunnel, completing the installation of the HEPS storage ring and signifying that all components of the HEPS storage ring have been linked up and the storage ring is ready for inter-system commissioning.

The first 500 MHz superconducting accelerator module of the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a major national science and technology infrastructure project in China, completed a high-power horizontal test at cryogenic temperature on March 26, 2024. The results exceeded the facility’s design specifications, marking the successful development of the 500 MHz cryomodule and establishing a strong basis for the commissioning and operation of the HEPS accelerator.
