This will be the longest beamline, at 145 meters in length. Its beam of X-rays will resolve objects down to 30 nanometers (a resolution 1,000 times higher than Brazil's current light source, the UVX). It will enable two- and three-dimensional analysis of catalyst materials, semiconductors, and biologicals with nanometric resolution
An X-ray beamline that will enable the acquisition of three-dimensional images of living cells and can register dynamic phenomena on the order of fractions of a second, such as alterations in molecules of DNA. It will allow researchers to observe the interaction between chemical elements in different materials, as well as the nanometric structures of oils and polymers
Its ultra-bright X-ray beam will produce nanometer-scale images of materials under extreme conditions (temperature, pressure, and strong magnetic fields), important for the research of superconducting materials. It will feed equipment at two experimental stations
This will be the first beamline assembled at Sirius, with completion scheduled for April 2019. Its X-ray beam will be used to analyze protein crystals, enabling scientists to obtain three-dimensional images of their molecules that show the precise location of each atom
One of Sirius's most energetic X-ray beamlines, Mogno is expected to generate 3D images of the nanometer-scale structures of dense materials in just seconds. It will be capable of penetrating centimeters into rocks taken from oil reservoirs. The current light source can analyze samples with only fractions of millimeters of thickness. Mogno will also enable the study of live animals
This light source will work with low energy X-rays and will enable the mapping of electrons responsible for the physical properties of matter, such as magnetism or electrical conductivity. It will make it possible to observe the formation of chemical bonds between atoms of matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states
