| has gloss | eng: The Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory (SAL) was a linear accelerator facility on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The facility was constructed in 1961 at a cost of $1.7M. SAL provided support for radiology, chemistry and sub-atomic physics research. In the 1980s a pulse stretcher ring called EROS was added to the facility. In 1997 Western Economic Diversification Canada provided funding to phase out the SAL sub-atomic physics program and begin detailed engineering of the Canadian Light Source (CLS). SAL officially discontinued operation in 1999 and was replaced by the CLS. The EROS ring was dismantled to make way for the CLS. The end-point tagger was transferred to MAX-lab at Lund University. The accelerator is still used as an injector for the CLS. |
