Since there has been a strong requirement in Japan for a new medium size synchrotron radiation facility that provides high brilliant photons in the soft X-ray region, the SLiT-J project is proposed by 7 national universities in Tohoku area. In addition to the synchrotron radiation characteristics, the manuscript describes a basic concept of designing the storage ring, expected performance of the SLiT-J and future prospects of the project.
