The plans for the future development of the recently granted National Synchrotron Radiation Centre – Solaris will be presented. The layout and basic design parameters of the accelerator will be shown. The key components of synchrotron such as: the linear accelerator, storage ring, foreseen beamlines and endstations will be described.

On the 9th of April 2010 the Minister of Science and Higher Education Prof. Barbara Kudrycka and the Rector of Jagiellonian University Prof. Karol Musioł signed the contract for the realization of the National Centre of Electromagnetic Radiation for research applications (the stage 1st) – The Synchrotron Project.

The Centre will be situated within the Campus of the 600th Anniversary of the Jagiellonian University Revival area, the new location for the Science Faculties and the site of the Jagiellonian Centre of Innovation. The building is being designed and will be built by the ALPINE Construction Polska sp. z o. o. with whom the contract was signed on 24th of March 2011.

The synchrotron radiation facility will consist of:

• An electron injection system including electron source, 550 MeV linear accelerator and transfer line.
• A low emittance 1.5 GeV storage ring with a circumference of 96 m and 500 mA circulating current. The storage ring will have 12 double bend achromats separated by 3.5 m long straight sections.
• One bending magnet based experimental beamline with Photoelectron Emission Microscope (PEEM) with band-pass filtering.

Novel concepts have been applied to the system design which is based on the integrated bending magnet technology developed by Mikael Eriksson’s team at MAX-lab in Lund University, Sweden with whom a Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 30th of October 2009. The innovative design of the device allows the realisation of a powerful scientific instrument at a very competitive price and the participation of experts from MAX-lab is essential to the project.

With cooperation of the National Centre of Magnetic Nanostructures for Applications in Spin Electronics a spectro-microscopy facility named SPINLAB will be implemented. SPINLAB is an infrastructural project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, in the frame of the Operational Programme - Innovative Economy. The Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, a SPINLAB’s partner, will purchase the Photoelectron Emission Microscope (PEEM) with band-pass filtering and offers to install it at the synchrotron as permanent equipment.

The funded project includes one experimental beamline and the search for funds for the full range of beamlines and endstations has started. Radiation sources for future beamlines can be from either one of eleven free bending magnets or undulators, which may include a superconducting wiggler, mounted on one of ten free straight sections. First beamlines for funding include Ultra Resolution Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (UARPES) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) both based on undulators.
