ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
CONCLUSION
The operation of the Canadian Light Source
is supported by the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada,
the National Research Council Canada,
the Canadian Institutes of Health Research,
the Province of Saskatchewan, Western
Economic Diversification Canada, and the
University of Saskatchewan.
Le CCRS accueille des utilisateurs sur 12 lignes de lumière, avec plus de 1000 visiteurs annuellement produisant plus de 100 publications par an dans les revues scientifiques à comité de lecture. Déjà, plus de 10 nouvelles lignes de lumière financées
sont en phase de construction ou de conception, alors que le CCRS continue de croître
afin d’atteindre son plein potentiel. Les installations permettent la recherche en
physique de haut niveau dans différents domaines. Les nouveaux utilisateurs sont
encouragés à explorer les possibilités d’intégrer les expériences synchrotroniques au
sein de leur programme de recherche.
REMERCIEMENTS
L’exploitation du Centre canadien de rayonnement synchrotron est appuyée par le
Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie, le Conseil national de
recherches du Canada, les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada, la province de la
Saskatchewan, Diversification de l'économie de l'Ouest Canada et l’Université de la
Saskatchewan.
