The 10 GeV CHEER electron storage ring will produce more than 1 MW of synchrotron radiation per turn with photon energies extending from the far infrared to the hard X-ray region. The critical energy of the synchrotron radiation spectrum will be 22 keV.Applications of hard X-rays to materials analysis are described and a discussion of some of the problems which will be encountered in implementing a synchrotron radiation facility at CHEER is presented.
