Armenian Light Source, CANDLE

Abstract

It is well understood by the scientific community that the development of the interdisciplinary science in the nearest decade will be concern with the generation of the high spectral flux and brilliance photon beams in soft and hard X-ray regions. The most desired way to produce such a photon beams is the Third Generation Light Source based on the intermediate energy (2.5–3.5 GeV) electron storage ring equipped by the special devices undulators and wigglers to cover the photon energy range of 1–50 keV with the spectral flux of 10¹⁴–10¹⁶ ph/sec in 0.1% band pass (BP) and spectral brightness up to 10²⁰ ph/(mm² mrad² sec 0.1%BP). The protein crystallography, molecular binding mechanism, study of the polymers and new materials, the chemical dynamics, drug design and medical application, bio-informatics and telecommunications, the development of the nano-technology etc — are not exhausting list of the scientific case to be studied by experimentalists using synchrotron radiation produced by such a dedicated storage ring.
