The Committee Research with Synchrotron Radiation is elected by the synchrotron ratiation users in Germany to represent their interest and to foster research with synchrotron radiation.
New building for researchers from Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein
 |
Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus Politik und Wissenschaft feierten am 10.12.2019 das Richtfest für ein neues Labor- und Bürogebäude bei DESY in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld. Das Centre for X-ray and Nanoscience CXNS wird ein bundesländerübergreifendes Zentrum für die Forschung mit Röntgenlicht in Kombination mit Nano- und Materialwissenschaften. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler des Helmholtz-Zentrums Geesthacht (HZG), der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) und DESYs werden ab 2021 in dem rund 18 Millionen Euro teuren Gebäude forschen.

First electrons stored in the storage ring of the Extremely Brilliant Source
 |
On December 6, 2019, only five days after the start of the commissioning of the new EBS storage ring at ESRF, electrons have been stored for the first time. This is a key milestone on the way to opening to the international scientific community the first high-energy fourth-generation synchrotron light source, known as EBS - Extremely Brilliant Source. User Service Mode will start in summer 2020. [more]

The KFS has surveyed the users of synchrotron radiation in Germany
 |
Nearly 900 users of synchrotron radiation have taken part in the survey that the KFS has conducted in the end of 2018 and in the beginning of 2019. This gave us valuable insights into your needs and focuses. The survey shows that the research with synchrotron radiation has a highly diversified user community. Scientists from universities, governmental institutions and industry use a variety of methods to work on their problems concerning materials, energy, technology, health, information and other challenges. Not only physicists, chemists and biologists, but also engineers, geo- and environmental scientists, researchers in art & culture and interdisciplinary researchers depend on the methods of synchrotron radiation.

KFS and KFN support proposal of consortium for research data management
 |
The aim of the national research data infrastructure (NFDI) is to systematically manage scientific and research data, provide long-term data storage, backup and accessibility, and network the data both nationally and internationally. The NFDI will bring multiple stakeholders together in a coordinated network of consortia tasked with providing science-driven data services to research communities. In mid-October, the neutron and synchrotron communities have subnitted a proposal for an NFDI consortium ("DAta from PHoton and Neutron Experiments") to DFG. Here, you can read the summary of the proposal. [more]
