SOLEIL synchrotron embarks on the final pre-construction stage of the IPANEMA facility 
July 16, 2009
On 15 July, the SOLEIL synchrotron, in agreement with its Board of Directors – the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) –, approved the start of the last stage of studies leading to the construction of the IPANEMA building. This unique instrumental platform that is like no other in the world will facilitate access to synchrotron techniques for scientific communities working with “ancient materials”. The project will be officially launched during European Heritage Days in September 2009.

 François Bonneau, Chairman of the Centre Region, will visit SOLEIL on 7^th July for the inauguration of the DISCO Beamline
