Answer: What is Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron mean?

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.

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 15 different beamlines in operation for its user community, covering energies ranging from a few electronvolts to tens of kiloelectronvolts. The uses include:

X-Ray DiffractionMacromolecule CrystallographySmall Angle X-Ray ScatteringX-Ray Absorption and Fluorescence SpectroscopyUV and Soft X-Ray Spectroscopy

depending on the beamline used.

In current production is the Sirius Project, a plan for a 3 GeV synchrotron light source. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in May 2013. The plan includes an initial 13 beamlines, with a final goal of 40, ranging from 10 eV to 100 keV. It is being built next to the current CNPEM campus. It was inaugurated in 2018.
