SOLEIL

The Synchrotron SOLEIL is a French national research facility located near Paris, dedicated to producing and utilizing synchrotron light. This state-of-the-art particle accelerator generates extremely bright X-rays and ultraviolet light used in diverse scientific fields, including materials science, biology, chemistry, and environmental studies. SOLEIL supports cutting-edge research and industrial applications by offering advanced beamlines and experimental stations to both academic and commercial users.  SOLEIL is developing and implementing cutting-edge analytical methods – spectroscopy, imaging, scattering and diffraction – using highly-brilliant X rays, infrared and UV radiation, and making these methods and the underlying expertise accessible on 29 instrumental stations (“beamlines”), to academic and industrial users from all countries.

Role in the project
Beamlines at Synchrotron SOLEIL will be used to characterise fibres and yarns and monitor their changes, including with in-situ measurements in controlled environments or applying mechanical load: DISCO (DUV spectroscopy or SHG), ANATOMIX (X-ray microtomography, nanotomography), potentially SWING (X-ray scattering and diffraction).
