SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre, Jagiellonian University

The SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre is the largest scientific research device in Poland. It is also the first and only synchrotron light source in Central Europe. SOLARIS Centre functions as a part of Jagiellonian University.

Synchrotron radiation (also called synchrotron light) is produced in a synchrotron and then directed to beamlines with experimental end-stations. Beamlines modify the synchrotron light in such a way that it best serves scientists and their measurements. The Centre has been open for Users since 2018, and in 2024 it facilitates the seven beamlines, operating in the range of radiation from UV to soft X-ray, providing various experimental techniques.

The Centre has been open for users since 2018, and at the beginning of 2024, SOLARIS facilitated seven beamlines operating in the range of radiation from UV to soft X-ray, providing various experimental techniques. At the PIRX beamline, the users can exploit X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES region, X-ray absorption near edge structure) and magnetic dichroism. The main technique at the URANOS beamline is Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The PHELIX beamline is based on two methods, ARPES and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES). The DEMETER beamline offers two end-stations: Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and Photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). The ASTRA beamline is dedicated to X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The recently opened POLYX beamline is a compact beamline for X-ray microimaging and X-ray microspectroscopy in the energy range of 4-15 keV. CIRI beamline is the newest one, using infrared radiation suitable for chemical analysis in microscale and investigation of intramolecular interactions.

Two new beamlines are under construction and will be open in the next few years. Both will be located in the new SOLARIS experimental hall, which has an area of 2000 m2. The SOLCRYS beamline will offer X-ray diffraction and Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques, which will be especially useful in protein crystallography, while the SMAUG beamline (Small Angle X-ray Scattering) will use hard X-rays in the range of 6 to 16 keV.

In total, the beamlines will be fitted with about twenty end-stations.
