In July 2015 PEEM-end station was delivered to SOLARIS. It will allow the team to complete the installation of the first beamline of the synchrotron. A photoemission electron microscope will make it possible to conduct research in many fields of study, from physics, chemistry, catalytics to material engineering, and even archaeology.

In December 2014, the SOLARIS synchrotron RF gun produced the first electrons. The gun is the place where electrons begin their life. Then they make their way to the linear accelerator, where they are accelerated nearly to the speed of light.

Another milestone behind the SOLARIS team: in May 2015 electron beams reached the first section of the storage ring.

In March 2015, the synchrotron tunnel was covered with 180 concrete slabs. Each slab weighs from three to five tons - depending on the size and concrete from which it was made.

In February 2015, SOLARIS physicists managed to send an electron beam through the entire linear accelerator.
