The Institute for Storage Ring Facilities in Aarhus

Welcome to the website for ISA, the Institute for Storage Ring Facilities in Aarhus.

ISA is a Danish National Facility where research is carried out in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Biology using accelerators and storage rings.

ISA has recently been awarded money to build a new synchrotron storage ring, ASTRID2. The ring is currently in the design phase and it is planned that the new light source will be operational with beamlines by mid 2012. Click here to read more about ASTRID2.
