LEPS (Laser Electron Photon Experiment at SPring-8) is an experiment taking place at the SPring-8 synchrotron facilities. It produces high-energy (GeV) photon beams by the backward Compton scattering of photons upon the 8 GeV electrons of the SPring-8 synchrotron. These are then used for various particle physics experiments on hadrons. The first beam was produced in 1999, and data-taking commenced in 2000.
