Polish scientific society, for many decades, has been actively participating in research exploring synchrotrons and free-electron lasers facilities worldwide. Recently, the construction of the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre in Kraków was completed. SOLARIS belongs to the family of low energy synchrotrons with a 1.5 GeV storage ring and presently offers several beamlines for user operation. In parallel, the PolFEL free-electron laser facility at National Centre for Nuclear Research in Warsaw is under construction, and the facility will deliver the first photon beams in 2023. We will present areas of accelerator-based photon research where the Polish scientific community is active and discuss trends and research routes of interest to be implemented at SOLARIS and PolFEL facilities.

Funding:European Regional Development Fund in the framework of the Smart Growth Operational Programme and Regional Operational Programme for Mazowieckie Voivodeship. The Beam Loss Monitor (BLM) system is primarily used for machine protection and is especially important in the case of high energy density of accelerated beam, when such a beam could cause serious damages due to uncontrolled loss. PolFEL linear accelerator is designed with the beam parameters, which made BLM an essential system for machine protection. The design of BLM system for PolFEL is composed of several scintillation probes placed along and around the accelerator. The paper reports on design and first tests of prototype detector, which is planned to be used for PolFEL project. The prototype was tested in NCBJ and SOLARIS, using radioactive calibration samples and linear electron accelerator as a sources. We also present results of numerical investigation of radiation generated due to interaction of fast electrons with accelerator components.

SOLARIS storage ring has been built with basic set of diagnostic and feedback systems. FOFB system, as much more advanced and not as critical for startup was envisioned as later addition to the design. Now, we are in the process of implementing this addition. The system’s workhorse is Instrumentation Technologies Libera Brilliance+ with its Fast Acquisition data path and customizable FPGA modules. Feedback algorithm running in hardware provides fast calculations and direct communication with fast power supplies. The hardware installation is almost finished with configuration and software works running in parallel. First measurements of response matrix and proof-of-concept tests were performed.
