The synchrotron is a resonant cyclic accelerator charged particles. At the moment, accelerator centers are on most continents, but Africa is still an exception. Africans decided to rectify this situation by building their own synchrotron.
True, the final decision on this issue will be known. then, when the officials and the best minds of the continent will conduct a series meetings in Grenoble. The reason for building the accelerator is simple until disgrace – in Africa there is nothing of the kind, so you need by all means get hooked. Synchrotrons are the future of science, say local specialists. X-ray study will be a source for new research. In addition, Africa is significantly lacking scientific personnel, and the construction of a resonant accelerator will be able to attract promising young scientists from all over the planet.
According to preliminary calculations, the construction of the African the synchrotron will cost more than two hundred million dollars. Necessary understand that even if officials approve of the initiative, accelerator construction will spend about a decade, so the results will have to wait. Beyond Africans, work on The project will be scientists from the United States and the European Union.
Now in the world there are about five dozen of these devices. The most famous of them is the Large Hadron Collider, located on the border of France and the Swiss Confederation, – in unprecedented excitement in its time. Some experts even assured that the collider is able to destroy our planet, which, to fortunately, not yet happened.
