        ALBA synchrotron welcomes the one thousandth researcher
                                        Coinciding with its first two years of operation, ALBA synchrotron recently welcomed its one thousandth researcher, Manuel Vásquez from the CSIC Material Sciences Institute in Madrid.
 
In late May, this researcher got access to one of the synchrotron beam lines he used with his colleagues during five days in order to investigate the magnetic properties of special nanowires that could be used for instance to improve the computers recording systems.
 
The reason why Manuel Vásquez could use ALBA is that his project had been previously selected by an expert panel that allocates beam line slots to the best scientific project received. To date, 267 projects have been selected and regarding the forthcoming call for the next first half of 2015, researchers from all over the world can apply until next July 7. We face a very selective process: with the last call, only one out of three applications received (250) was approved.
 
In the future, the access should be easier: according to director, Ms. Caterina Biscari, ALBA plants to duplicate the number of beam lines available (from 7 to 14) by 2020. Two of these new lines are already under construction.
