During the past 20 years, the Cooler Synchrotron COSY of the Research Center Jülich provided polarized proton and deuteron beams up to energies of 2.88 GeV. Collaborations like COSY11, ANKE, WASA, PAX and TOF used its unique features like phase-space cooled beams of small emittance and polarized internal targets. Based on this experience several new projects are presently being developed:
1.)...

We had recently completed the Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) and established the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) in 2012. Launched in 2002 as a 21st Century Frontier R&D Program of Korea government, the primary goal of the PEFP was to develop a high-intensity 100-MeV, 20-mA proton linear accelerator in order to be utilize proton beams in scientific, medical, and...

Hadrontherapy offers an improved dose conformation to the target volume as compared to photon radiotherapy, with better sparing of normal tissue structures close to the target. In addition, carbon ions beams exhibit an increase of the radio biological efficacy, RBE, in the Bragg peak as compared to the entrance region.
The CNAO (National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy) is the first...

The Centre for Micro-Analysis of Materials (CMAM) was inaugurated in 2003 in Spain, a country with almost no experience in the field of electrostatic accelerators (the first one dates from 1999). At that moment, with this lack of national knowhow facing the day-to-day operation and maintenance problems was only possible with the support from the manufacturer and the casual interaction with our...

The first discussions to build a synchrotron light source in Brazil started in the early SO's. At that time, Brazil had no knowledge in either building or operating a synchrotron machine. Moreover, only a handful of researchers in the country had already used a synchrotron somewhere else in the world. Strategies were taken both to train young physicists, engineers and technicians in the...

Establishing and operating a synchrotron light source in a developing country such as Thailand poses a set of unique challenges. The facility, which was established in the year 1998, began with the relocation of an old synchrotron machine used for lithography from Japan. While the booster synchrotron was kept intact, the storage ring was redesigned to be more suitable for synchrotron radiation...

The University of Manchester’s Dalton Cumbrian Facility (DCF) is a new radiation science research centre created in partnership between the University and the nuclear energy industry. DCF incorporates large scale irradiation capability together with high-end material preparation and post-irradiation examination facilities. The primary research aim is to develop a mechanistic understanding of...

SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) is a third generation 2.5 GeV synchrotron-light source under construction near Amman (Jordan), modelled on CERN and established under the auspices of UNESCO. The Members of SESAME are currently Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Pakistan, the Palestinian Authority and Turkey. Observer countries...

CNRS, the French ministry of Culture and communication and Synchrotron SOLEIL have built IPANEMA, the European research platform on ancient materials at the site of the synchrotron facility. IPANEMA develops advanced methods of material characterisation in archaeology, palaeo-environments, palaeontology and cultural heritage research, and supports synchrotron users through external projects...
