Conseils et renseignements d’experts sur les sources de rayonnement synchrotron internationales

Synchrotron light sources are accelerators that produce exceptionally intense beams of X-rays, ultra-violet and infrared light, making possible both basic and applied research. Among other things, they enable scientists to reveal the structure, chemical composition, electronic properties, and other features of specimens critical to materials science, chemistry, archaeology, molecular electronics, and a host of other disciplines.As part of its ongoing research and horizontal scanning of developments in major research facilities, in Canada and around the world, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) is seeking to better understand the evolving global context in synchrotron light source facilities and research. ISED requires contractual help to develop a landscape scan of the international context.
