Large Scale Accelerator Facilities in Korea
is a national research university which has two campuses located in Gangneung and Wonju in the Republic of Korea. Founded in 1946, GWNU is situated on the East coast of South Korea and has risen to one of the research universities in South Korea. It is recognized as one of the preeminent research universities, ranked 1st among Korean universities and 6th among Asian universities in the number of research papers in the 2009 Asia QS Universities Evaluation.
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 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.
