	Canadian Light Source Synchrotron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CLS is the largest science project in Canadian history, and represents an unprecedented level of cooperation between the Government of Canada, the governments of Saskatchewan, Ontario and Alberta, the City of Saskatoon, universities across Canada and industry.
		A synchrotron produces extremely bright light by using radio frequency waves to accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light and then bending the path of the electron stream into a circle using powerful electromagnets.
		The light is shone down beamlines to endstations (small laboratories) where scientists can select different parts of the spectrum to “see” the microscopic nature of matter, right down to the level of the atom.

		Canadian Light Source (CLS) Inc. is Canada's national facility for synchrotron light research.
		Officially opened in October 2004, the CLS will light the way to a new era of science and innovation in Canada for academe, government and industry.
		Capital and operating funding comes from federal, provincial, municipal, industrial and academic sources that came together in an unprecedented partnership.

	Canadian Light Source Inc.
		A synchrotron produces extremely bright light -- millions of times brighter than the sun -- by using powerful magnets and radio frequency waves to accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light.
		This infra-red, ultraviolet and X-ray light is shone down beamlines to experimental stations where scientists can select different parts of the spectrum to "see" the microscopic nature of matter, right down to the level of the atom.
		Information obtained with a synchrotron can be used to help design new drugs, examine the structure of surfaces for developing more effective motor oils, build more powerful computer chips, and help with clean-up of mining wastes, to name just a few applications.

	Synchrotron Radiation: The Most Versatile Spectroscopic Source
		In 1973-74 a Canadian synchrotron facility was first proposed by Bill McGowan, Director of the Centre for Chemical Physics at the University of Western Ontario.
		Synchrotron radiation (SR) or synchrotron light (SL) (an intense, focussed source of radiation covering over one-half of the electromagnetic spectrum from the far infrared (IR) through the IR, visible and ultraviolet (UV) to the soft and hard X-ray region) is produced when high-energy electrons are bent in a magnetic field.
		The Canadian Light Source is the largest scientific project—both in size and cost—in Canada in at least the past 30 years.

	The Canadian Light Source
		Synchrotron light is an accelerator-based light source that covers the complete electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to hard X-ray.
		Aside from the visible, near-IR and near-UV where lasers are generally superior, the properties of synchrotron light far surpass those of alternative light sources.
		After 8 years of effort by scientists, the Canadian Light Source was approved on March 31, 1999.

	NSERC - The Government of Canada Announces New Funding for the Canadian Light Source
		Synchrotrons create light millions of times brighter than sunlight and are used to analyze the nature and structure of molecules.
		“Today’s support for the Canadian Light Source’s operational activities will go a long way in attracting world-class researchers to the facility, providing maximum return on the investment in infrastructure, and ensuring that Canada’s scientific community and industry sectors are able to compete on an international level,” said Peter MacKinnon, President of the University of Saskatchewan.
		The CLS synchrotron research facility is a unique Canadian science endeavour that came about through an imaginative partnership among the federal government, three provincial governments, numerous universities, and other private and public sector organizations.
