Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron ( Portuguese pronunciation: [laboɾɐˈtɔɾju nɐsjoˈnaw dʒi ˈlus ˈsĩkɾotɾõ] ; LNLS ) is the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory, a research institution on physics , chemistry , material science and life sciences . It is located in the city of Campinas , sub-district of Barão Geraldo , state of São Paulo , Brazil .
5-954: The Center, which is operated by the Brazilian Center of Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) under a contract with the National Research Council (CNPq) and the Ministry of Science and Technology of Brazil , has the only particle accelerator (a synchrotron ) in Latin America, which was designed and built in Brazil by a team of physicists, technicians and engineers. Currently, the Brazilian Synchrotron has 6 different beamlines in operation for its user community, covering energies ranging from
10-431: A few electronvolts to tens of kiloelectronvolts. The uses include: These beamlines are part of Sirius , a 3 GeV synchrotron light source . The plan includes an initial 13 beamlines, with a final goal of 40, ranging from 10 eV to 100 keV. It was inaugurated in 2018. 22°48′14.33″S 47°03′14.28″W / 22.8039806°S 47.0539667°W / -22.8039806; -47.0539667 This article about
