Danfysik wins Synchrotron Injector Contract for the Australian Synchrotron Project

December 2003

On December 16, 2003 the contract for the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of the turnkey Injector System for the Australian Synchrotron Project was awarded to Danfysik.

The Injector System, which will be installed at Monash University in Melbourne, comprises 

• A 100 MeV Pre-injector Linac
• A Beam Transfer Line from the Linac to the Booster Synchrotron
• A 3 GeV Booster Synchrotron
• A Beam Transfer Line from Booster Synchrotron to Storage Ring

"We are delighted to have won this contract for this project in Victoria, which will be the first synchrotron light source in Australia and a spear head for advanced technology research and development", says Bjarne Roger Nielsen, Managing Director of Danfysik. "This will be our third complete synchrotron injector project, and we will take a pride in delivering a high quality and well performing injector system to Australia".

Danfysik has been supplying components for accelerators, such as magnets, power supplies, insertion devices, diagnostics, and complete accelerator systems since 1964. Most synchrotrons use equipment manufactured by Danfysik. Previously, two other complete injector systems have been installed and commissioned by Danfysik. These are the Injector System for the ANKA synchrotron light source at Karlsruhe, Germany and the Injector Synchrotron for the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon, Canada.
