Expected main results in the current year:
- Construction of technical infrastructure for the SOLCRYS laboratory.
- Development of a superconducting wiggler, which will produce synchrotron radiation in the range of 5 to 22 keV, to be used by the end stations of the SOLCRYS beamlines.
- Design of experimental beamlines.
