Indus 2
Encyclopedia
Indus-2 is currently one of the most important projects in progress at RRCAT. This will be a synchrotron
radiation source with a nominal electron energy of 2.5 GeV and a critical wavelength of about 4 angstroms. It has been under construction and designed to cater to the needs of X-ray users. Indus-1 has the distinction of being the first synchrotron generator of India with a 450 Mev storage ring. Indus-2 is an improvement over Indus-1.
Indus-2 lattice has been designed in such a way as to give low beam emittance and high brightness. The lattice is a Double Bend Acromat with zero dispersion function along the long straight section. It has eight super periods each having two dipole bending magnets, four focusing and five defocusing quadrupoles and six sextupoles. Of the eight long straight section, three will be used for injection and RF cavities respectively. The remaining five will be used for insertion devices.
Currently, the radiation source Indus-2 is in an advanced stage of construction near Indore

Synchrotron
A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator in which the magnetic field and the electric field are carefully synchronised with the travelling particle beam. The proton synchrotron was originally conceived by Sir Marcus Oliphant...
