Запуска синхротрона СКИФ перенесли на 2025 год

The reason for the change in timing is the lack of access to foreign equipment

The launch of the SKIF synchrotron in the Novosibirsk region has been postponed to 2025, according to the governor of the region, Andrei Travnikov.

Previously, the installation was scheduled to launch on December 31, 2024.

The linear accelerator will be launched in December. This is the source that produces the first beam, and the requirements for it are also very strict. The completion of installation, commissioning and the first studies at the stations will take place in 2025. 
Andrei Travnikov, Governor of the Novosibirsk Region

The head of the region noted that the changes in the timing are due to the fact that some systems for the installation were developed by Russian scientists from scratch due to the lack of access to foreign equipment.

The Siberian Ring Source of Photons (SKIF) is a megascience-class project with a 4+ generation synchrotron, which is being built in the science city of Koltsovo. The complex includes 34 buildings and structures, engineering and technological equipment necessary for conducting scientific research on synchrotron radiation beams.

The unique characteristics of the synchrotron will allow advanced research in various fields and solve urgent problems of innovative and industrial enterprises.

Earlier www1.ru reported that a unique chamber for studying explosive processes was launched in Russia.
