Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron
View on WikipediaLaboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [laboɾɐˈtɔɾi.u nasi.oˈnaw dʒi ˈlus ˈsĩkɾotɾõ, laboɾɐˈtɔɾju nasjoˈnaw -]; LNLS) is the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory,[2] 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.
Key Information

The center, which is operated by the Brazilian Center of Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM)[3] 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 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]
