Main Bullet #1 Main Bullet #2 Main Bullet #3 Canadian Light Source National Synchrotron Light Facility

To be a global leader and a recognized centre of excellence in synchrotron science and its applications. Vision

Canadian Light Source Synchrotrons currently in operation Synchrotrons under construction or in planning phase Synchrotrons of the world There are approximately 40 similar synchrotron facilities in 20 countries around the world

 1999: Formal funding announcement by CFI; Start of construction.  2001: Main experimental hall building is complete and ready for occupancy.  2002: Start of commissioning the booster ring. (The 2.9 GeV electrons produced are the highest energy achieved by any Canadian particle accelerator.)  2003: Start of commissioning the main storage ring. - First synchrotron light detected in the Optical Diagnostics Beamline.  2004: First x-rays detected in the SGM Beamline. - Commissioning of the storage ring is completed. - First experimental data recorded on the SGM Beamline. - Official Grand Opening.  2005: First synchrotron user!!  2006: First publications based on CLS data.
