Synchrotron radiation applications in the Siberian Synchrotron and Terahertz radiation center

The Siberian Synchrotron and Terahertz Radiation Center (SSTRC, Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP), Novosibirsk, Russian Federation) is one of the oldest and main Russian centers for synchrotron radiation applications. The center combines research efforts of numerous scientific groups, mostly from institutes and universities of the Novosibirsk Scientific Center (Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences) as well as researchers from all over Russia. The center provides access to the most popular synchrotron radiation applications and research techniques including the unique ones in the world. The synchrotron radiation (SR) is produced by VEPP-3 and VEPP-4M storage rings of the INP. Most of the activities of SSTRC is devoted to developing original approaches for synchrotron radiation usage. The report covers activity on synchrotron radiation applications at the Siberian Synchrotron and Terahertz Radiation Center as well as some bright results of recent research. (C) 2016 The Authors.
