Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron (Portuguese pronunciation:

life sciences. It is located in the city of Campinas, sub-district of Barão Geraldo, state of São Paulo, Brazil
.

The Center, which is operated by the Brazilian Center of Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM)

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[4] in operation for its user community, covering energies ranging from a few electronvolts to tens of kiloelectronvolts. The uses include:

  • X-Ray Nanoscopy [5]
  • Coherent and Time-resolsed X-ray Scattering [6]
  • X-ray Spectroscopy e Diffraction in Extreme Conditions [7]
  • Infrared Micro and Nanospectroscopy [8]
  • Resonant Inelastic X-ray scattering and Photoelectron spectroscopy [9]
  • Macromolecular Micro and Nanocrystallography [10]

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.[11]
