The CLS is known for its industrial research[1]
and its education progran
A further push towards a Canadian synchrotron lightsource started in 1990 with formation of the Canadian Institute for Synchrotron Radiation (CISR), initiated by Bruce Bigham of AECL. AECL and TRIUMF showed interest in designing the ring, but the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory at the University of Saskatchewan became prominent in the design phase. In 1991 CISR submitted a propoal to NSERC for a final design study. This was turned down, but in later years, under President Peter Morand, NSERC became more supportive. In 1994 NSERC committee recommended a Canadian synchrotron lightsource and a further NSERC committee was formed to select between two bids to host such a facility, from the Universities of Saskatchewan and Western Ontario. In 1996 this committee recommended that the Canadian Light Source be built in Saskatchewan. [2]
