The 20102011 user run starts this week at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource. The run is scheduled to last until July 25, 2011, with an estimated 1500 users coming to SLAC over the course of the run to perform research using SSRL's X-ray beamlines. The synchrotron will begin the run at an operating current of 350 milliamperes, up from 200 mA during the 20092010 run. The team plans to ramp up to the SPEAR3 top design current of 500 mA sometime during the run.
