On November 3rd, we met this year's winners of the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) Prize. Among others, the winner of this most prestigious scientific award in Poland is Prof. Marcin Nowotny. A long-time collaborator of the SOLARIS Centre, he co-authored the concept of establishing a cryo-electron microscopy facility at SOLARIS.
LEAPS 2022 Plenary Meeting
02.11.2022
A representation of SOLARIS employees joined this years’ LEAPS plenary meeting, which took place at Villigen, Switzerland. The major objective of the meeting was the proposed strategy for accelerator-based photon science (ESAP). Against the backdrop of the current energy crisis, a vision for modern accelerator-based light sources was set out, that address current and future societal and scientific challenges.
New orbit for electrons
28.10.2022
Energy savings and a solution to a beam orbit correction problem are the results of a recent optimization carried out as part of a project initiated by Dr. Roman Panaś of the Accelerators Department. The correction problems stemmed from suboptimal alignment of the electron beam position "centers" (so-called offsets). It turned out that the correction magnets were undergoing periodic saturation, which made it impossible to maintain the correct orbit. Optimization of the beam orbit was essential, as it indirectly affects the quality and power of synchrotron light. It took about 2 months to develop and implement the new algorithms.

Sylinda summer school
01.12.2022
Between October 17th and 21st, the first science management summer school, organized by the Sylinda project, has taken place on the premises of ALBA synchrotron. The school has focused on science management, industry cooperation and communication. In addition to the lectures, dedicated workshops have been by the leading experts from academia and the industry. Participants have also gotten hands-on experience in conducting industrial practices using synchrotron radiation at ALBA synchrotron.
