What are photon and neutron facilities?

What is a synchrotron light source? A synchrotron light source is made up of several key components: a source of electrons, a linear accelerator, a booster synchrotron and a storage ring. Electrons are generated in the electron gun, and accelerated in bunches of several billion in the linear accelerator before continuing their journey into the booster synchrotron where they are further energised. Once the right … Continue reading What are photon and neutron facilities?

The benefits of Open Data

ExPaNDS, alongside the Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud (PaNOSC) are European H2020 projects who are working towards the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The Photon and Neutron Research Infrastructures (PaN RIs) containing free electron laser, synchrotron light and neutron sources are generating petabytes of research data each year and such vast amounts of data can be hard to share. Researchers around … Continue reading The benefits of Open Data
