The aims of the New SUBARU project are to promote industrial applicati
ons in the VUV and soft X-ray region and to develop research and devel
opment towards new light sources. The main facility of the New SUBARU
project is the 1.5 GeV electron storage ring which is under constructi
on at the SPring-8 site in Harima Science Garden City, Japan. The stor
age ring is quasi-isochronous and has variable momentum dispersion for
the deep study of beam dynamics in very short bunches.
