The DAΦNE‐Light Facility

The new Synchrotron Radiation facility at Frascati exploits the intense photon emission from DAΦNE, the 0,51 GeV storage ring circulating over 1 A of electrons. Among the three beamlines commissioned, the Synchrotron INfrared Beamline At Daφne (SINBAD) is fully operational by a brilliant SR beam spanning the entire IR. Recently, the soft X‐ray beamline has been characterized and, once implemented the double‐crystal monocromator, X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy is applied on material standards in the distinguishing energy region below 4 keV. An UltraViolet line, presently dedicated to photobiology dosimetry, has also given first results on cell irradiation in the UVB band.
