Institution:
The consortium for Construction, Equipment and Exploitation of the Synchrotron Light Laboratory
(CELLS) is jointly funded by the Spanish Government through its Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad
(Ministry of Economy and competitiveness) and the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Autonomous
Government) through its Departament d’Universitats, Recerca i Societat de la Informació (Department

The accelerator was commissioned in 2011 and the Beamlines started official operations in May 2012.
The installation operates 24/6, about 6000 hours a year. The control systems for the accelerators

beamline and laboratory requires particular developments for fast data acquisition and on-line data
analysis.
CELLS offers you a unique opportunity to participate in this undertaking as part of a dynamic team
