I will report on this project as more update become available..This project is even bigger than Iranian observatory
Iranian Cyclotron Project
Iran's largest science project
Synchrotrons accelerate electrons to high energy and then make them generate flashes of x-rays as they travel around a circular ring. These are then sent down "beamlines", to be used in a range of experiments in the fields of physics, nanotechnology, electronics, radiotherapy, pharmacology, industry, biology, environment and archaeology, among others.Iran's largest science project
- Named "IRANIAN LIGHT SOURCE FACILITY"
- ILSF is a 3 GeV third generation Cyclotron with a current of 400 mA and larger than the only other synchrotron in the Middle East, 2GeV Sesame ring in Jordan.
- ILSF is being built on a land of 50 hectares area in the city of Qazvin, located 150 km West of Tehran
- The ILSF storage ring has a circumference of 528m
- The project has been in preparation for a decade. Work on a conceptual design for the ILSF begun in June 2010.
- Some prototype accelerator components such as high power solid state radio frequency amplifiers, LLRF system, thermionic RF gun, storage ring H-type dipole and quadruple magnets, Hall probe system for magnetic measurement and highly stable magnet power supplies have been constructed in ILSF R&D laboratory.
