The linear accelerator, the most important part of the synchrotron, is planned to be launched before the end of 2024. This step is critical because the device must produce the first particle beam. However, it will be possible to complete the installation, put it into operation and start research at scientific stations only in 2025.
The governor explained the delay due to the complexity of developing unique equipment. Given limited access to foreign technologies, Russian scientists created some installation systems from scratch. This required significant effort and additional time.
Initially, the launch of SKIF was planned for December 31, 2024, in accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
