| Abstract: | Abstract Two major synchrotron radiation projects are presented, the conversion of the 30GeV TRISTAN collider into an ultra-high-brilliance machine and Spring-8, the 8 GeV Japanese third generation source. The Japanese high-pressure group is introduced and its plans for Spring-8 are described in the context of the proposed scientific programme which covers physics and chemistry, earth and planetary science, material science and shock wave compression. The equipment programme and requirements include multianvil presses with high-temperature capability, diamond-anvil cells with low- or high-temperature capabilities, shock compression apparatus and image-plate systems. The latest developments include a high-sensitivity ruby fluorescence detector and a fan-type multiple slit system to allow the use of position-sensitive detectors with multianvil devices.
