CAMD
The Center for Advanced Mircostructures & Devices (CAMD) is a synchrotron radiation research center.
The mission of CAMD is to provide infrastructure for research and education in synchrotron-based science and technology. The facility was built with a $25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and its operations are state-funded by LSU. The heart of the facility is a 1.3 GeV electron storage ring that was built exclusively to provide synchrotron radiation.
Research in basic sciences and microfabrication is conducted by scientists and engineers from Louisiana universities, along with distinguished scientists from national and international institutions.
