Kangwon National University

is a premier national flagship university in the Republic of Korea, with major campuses strategically located in Chuncheon, Gangneung, Samcheok, and Wonju. Tracing its origins back to 1946, KNU has expanded across Gangwon State to become one of the largest and most prominent research-oriented universities in the country. It is widely recognized for its academic excellence and rigorous research output, consistently ranking among the top national universities in South Korea and driving innovative research on both the national and global stages.

Light source in Berlin

BESSY II is a synchrotron radiation source that produces extremely bright light from infra-red to soft X-ray. It is a universal tool for studying an endless variety of samples, for example solar cells, materials for solar hydrogen production and quantum materials. Proteins can be studied for the development of new medicines, and meteorites and archaeological finds can be investigated using the soft X-ray.

BESSY VSR

BESSY VSR s a novel approach to create long and short photon pulses simultaneously for all beam lines through a pair of superconducting bunch compression cavities. Pulse-picking schemes will allow each individual user to freely switch between high average flux for X-ray spectroscopy, microscopy and scattering and picosecond pulses up to 500 MHz repetition rate for dynamic studies.
