Third phase of Indian beamline project initiated

Japan has agreed to increase the number of young researchers from India to be trained in advanced X-ray techniques of material research under a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Indian Ambassador to Japan Sanjay Kumar Verma with Director, Institute of Material Structure Science, Dr. Kosugi Nobuhiro.

At present, only 50% of Indian researchers who apply receive beamtime.

The MoU is the third phase of the Indian beamline project was initiated on 23 March 2021, with special focus on industrial application research. The beamline project is a facility for materials research set up under India-Japan Scientific and Technological Cooperation.

Besides, steps will be taken under the MoU to allocate more beamtime so that more researchers can get access to it.

The Indian beamline has been constructed and maintained by Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP), Kolkata and Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore; in Japanese synchrotron light source Photon Factory (PF) of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), with support from Nano Mission, Department of Science and Technology (DST).

This India-Japan Scientific and Technological Cooperation project was initiated between the DST and the KEK on 24 July 2007.

In the first phase (2009-2015) of this project, an X-ray beamline (BL18B) was constructed by SINP in PF, and over the years, this facility has provided substantial amount of quality beamtime for the use of Indian scientists to carry out front-ranking research in advanced materials including nano materials.

So far, 45 Indian Institutes across the country have used this facility and published research papers in top-ranking International Journals.

In the second phase (2016-2021), JNCASR and SINP jointly developed the beamline further to cater to the need of various users from India by implementing various modes of operation of the Indian beamline.

The required planning was finalized during a one-year extension (April 2015 to March 2016) of first phase through a MoU, and it was mentioned in the Joint Statement in Japan during the visit of Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, from 30 August to 3 September 2014.

Recognizing the successful operation of the Indian Beam Line at High-Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) at Tsukuba as a flagship cooperative activity, both sides announced their decision to take forward this collaboration in structural materials science area to the second phase for the study of advanced materials.

Now it has been extended to the third phase, the Ministry of Science and Technology said on 26 Mar 2021. #projects #investment #engineering #science /fiinews.com
