FINAL ACT

OF THE CONFERENCE OF PLENIPOTENTIARIES

FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A

EUROPEAN SYNCHROTRON RADIATION FACILITY
-2-

(1) In 1977 the General Assembly of the European Science Foundation (ESF)

approved the report of the ESF working group recommending a feasibility study for an advanced European synchrotron radiation laboratory. The ESF ser up the ad hoc Committee on Synchrotron

Radiation and two sub-groups for the machine and instrumentation in order to prepare the recommended fcasibility study. In 1979 the results of the feasibility study were published in a four-volume document called the "Blue Book".

In 1983 an intergovernmental Progress Committee was created, composed of representatives of Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, the Federal

Republic of Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden, the United

Kingdom and Yugoslavia.

A study group prepared a Report ("Green Book" describing in detail the scientific goals, the machine and the experimental facilities, and the time schedule for construction, the end of 1985 the Governments of France, the Federal Republic rmany and the United Kingdom signed the "Memorandum

Understanding", the legal basis of the ESRE Foundation Phase. Italy and

Spain joined early in 1986.

On the basis of the Foundation Phase Report ("Red Book") prepared by the

ESRF team the Governments of France, the Federal Republic of Germany,

Italy, Spain, the Swiss Confederation, the United Kingdom, and the

Governments of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden acting together, signed in Paris on December 22, 1987 a protocol enabling the beginning of the first phase of the construction period on January 1, 1988.

Conference took note that the construction of the European Synchrotron

Radiation Facility had already begun as of January 1, 1988. The

Conference appreciated the work done so far by the Director General and the ESRF team and invited them to continue their efforts in order to establish this facility within the planned time schedule and budget.

(6) The Conference of Plenipotentiaries adopted the text of the Convention cerning construction and operation of a European Synchrotr diation Facility and che dext of the Statutes of the ESRF Compa (Société Civile). The Convention includes four Annexes which form an integral part thereof.

CONSIDERING that on the basis of the Protocol dated 22 December 1987 the construction of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility at Grenoble has already begun as of 1 January 1988

Ukers to apply provisionaliy from 1 January 1989 onwards the clauses o

Convention, it bonendersonalinofe subject to the fulfilment of appropriate constitutional procedures in each of the countries concerned

INVITES the research institutes and State Agencies establishing together the

ESRF Company, a Société Civile under Articles 1832 to 1873 of the French Code

Civil, to sign immediately the "Statutes" (Annex 1 to the Convention)

ASKS the French Government

to use its best efforts

to accomplish the

necessary procedural steps to establish as soon as possible the ESRF Company as a legal entity.
RESOLUTION No. Z

The International Character of the ESRE

THE CONFERENCE

APPRECIATING that scientists from

various European countries have made

considerable contributions to the successful

preparation of the European

Synchrotron Radiation Facility

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT that 14 scientific institutes and State Agencies from 11

European Countries participate in the

establishment of the European

Synchrotron Radiation Facility

AFFIRMS that the European character of this joint facility should also be reflected in the ESRF staff and that highly qualified people from

all the

participating countries should have the possibility of joining this staff

ASKS the French Government to facilitate, as far as possible, the stay of personnel in France and in particular to give them all the necessary permissions including the same

permissions for accompanying

family

members

INVITES the French Government to use its best endeavours to exempt expatriation allowances paid to non-French employees of the ESRF from taxation and social charges.
RESOLUTION No. 3

Education Facilities

THE CONFERENCE

REAFFIRMING that it is especially important for the ESRE 10 attract qualified personnel from all participating countries to Grenoble

TAKING THE VIEW that the provision of suitable education for children who are not French nationals is often a determining factor for parents when deciding whether to leave their country of origin

STRESSING the commitment of the French Government to offer children who are not French nationals an education which is geared to enabling them to re-enter the education system of their country of origin

TAKES NOTE that

1. the French party will institute free schooling which will include specific teaching aimed at ensuring that children who are not French nationals receive an education geared 1o enabling them to re-enter the education system of their country of origin. This specific teaching will be organised along the lines of that already set up with the agreement of the relevant Education Authorities of the different Contracting Parties.

Teachers who are not French nationals will, as an exception, be paid by the French Government which will endeavour, in liaison with its partner countries, to secure good conditions for such personnel.

2. The other Contracting Parties concerned will be able to recruit teachers from their own country to supplement the specific teaching provided by the French party.

3. If the plan envisaged in Grenoble for educating non-French children does not prove satisfactory, the French Government would be prepared to examine, in liaison with the competent authorities of the countries concerned, and in the light of all the options then available under the various European education systems, suitable modifications to these arrangements.

Switzerland's obligations, on signing the ESRF

Convention, will be as follows:

1. Switzerland will take part in the construction phase I of ESRF with a share of 4 %.

• inform the other participating countries no later than 1 year before the end of Phase I.

3. Following phase II, Switzerland will extend its participation in successive periods of three years.

4. Switzerland is ready to discuss financial consequences resulting from a termination of its participation as mentioned in paragraph 2 or 3.
RESOLUTION No. 5

THE CONFERENCE

REFERRING to the variety of European scientific institutes established for the benefit of scientists and the advancement of science in Europe

CONSIDERING that the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility will offer as a new Centre of Excellence challenging research possibilities in the physical, chemical, biological and medical fields

NOTING that some other Governments have already expressed their interest in adhering to the ESRF Convention as soon as possible

INVITES these Governments to join the European Synchrotron Radiation

Facility

IS PREPARED to accept them as foundation members if they join the

Convention not later than 1 May 1989

NOTES the prospects of growing scientific use of the ESRF by present partners that consequently may result in a commitment to increase their contribution to the operation budget.

TARGET SPECIFICATIONS FOR PHASE I

1. A positron or electron storage ring of 845 m circumference including 32 straight sections each with more than 6 m space between quadrupoles.

2. An experimental hall encompassing the total circumference and accommo- dating beam lines up to 75m in length.

3. At 6 GeV a current of approximately 100 mA in the multibunch mode and 5 mA in the single bunch mode.

4. A time of approximately 8 hours (or more) for the stored beam to fall smoothly to /e of an initial value of about 100 mA, to permit uninterrupted use of the machine for about one shift. Time for preparing for and establishing a beam and adequate working conditions should usually be a short part of one shift.

5. A brilliance from an undulator of at least 1 x 1017 photons sec-! mrad-2 mm-2 per 0.1 % bandwidth and per metre of undulator at a photon energy around a rawl

6. A flux from the bending magnets at least 8 x 1012 photons sec-! mrad-! per 0.1 % bandwith at the characteristic energy of the bending magnets, which should be about 19 keV in the main part of the magnets, and about 9.5 keV in the "soft ends".

7. An x-ray beam whose position is reproducible from fill to fill and stable during one shift to about one tenth of its dimensions with respect to the beam lines.

8. A first set of at least seven beam lines completed to the extent that the experiments for calibration of optical elements and detectors have been performed.
