What is the ESRF?
The ESRF hosts the most intense and brilliant hard X-ray source existing today worldwide. These X-rays are produced by the high-energy electrons that race around the institute’s emblematic "storage ring", an accelerator of impressive proportions, with a circumference of 844 metres.
ESRF-EBS
ESRF–EBS (Extremely Brilliant Source) is the ESRF’s 150M€ facility upgrade, spread over the period 2015-2022, bringing its scientific users a first-of-a-kind, low-emittance, high-energy synchrotron light source and new, cutting-edge beamlines.
A propos de l'ESRF
