National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center

The National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC; Chinese: 國家同步輻射研究中心; pinyin: Guójiā Tóngbù Fúshè Yánjiū Zhōngxīn) synchrotron radiation facility at the Hsinchu Science Park in East District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan as the agency under the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of China.

Additionally, the NSRRC also operates two beamlines at SPring-8 in Japan and the Sika neutron scattering instrument at the OPAL research reactor in Australia.

The TPS is a 3-GeV third-generation synchrotron light source, built at a cost of approximately NT$7 billion (US$224 million).

[4][5] Projected to be 10,000 times brighter than the TLS,[6] the TPS is considered one of the world's brightest light sources.

[6] The TPS is located adjacent to the TLS and the two light sources are intended to be complementary in providing a wide range of the photon spectrum, from IR to x-rays greater than 10 keV, for researchers' needs.
