![]() “This is a very exciting project for the CLS,” says Mark Boland, CLS Machine Director. The new state-of-the-art linear accelerator will replace remaining infrastructure from the SK Accelerator Laboratory and the early days of the CLS, and will enhance the facility’s capabilities by replacing the existing electron source, the radio frequency (RF) LINAC, and the energy compression cavity. “This upgrade will boost our ability to deliver a quality beam for our users and clients.” “We’re very grateful for the continued investment by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and our other funding partners,” said Bill Matiko, CLS COO. This critical upgrade will ensure CLS continues to deliver high-quality, stable and reliable light to the over 1,000 scientists from across Canada and around the world who rely on the CLS for their innovative health, agriculture, the environment and advanced materials research. SASKATOON - The Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan has begun a two-year project to replace its linear accelerator (LINAC), the device that speeds up electrons to produce a beam of light researchers use to study materials at a molecular or cellular level.
