In early 2025, the linear accelerator reached its design parameters. Scientists at the INP SB RAS achieved the design characteristics of the electron beam, which was successfully delivered to the booster synchrotron vacuum chamber.
TITAN-2 Holding’s builders are creating the conditions for scientific breakthroughs. At the end of 2024, concrete pouring for the main tunnel ring in the storage facility, which will house high-tech equipment, was completed. In early 2025, preliminary finishing work was completed, and the tunnel was handed over to scientists for the creation of a geodetic network. The onsite heating and power supply networks were also commissioned.
Vyacheslav Maksimov, Director of the Program for Building the JSC CONCERN TITAN-2 SKIF CSU:
«A key event occurred at the end of last year: the INP SB RAS specialists conducted a beamline through the Linak accelerator structure in the injector building. This was preceded by extensive work on construction preparation, installation, and commissioning of utility and electrical networks. We are maintaining a high pace of works».
This year, the Company’s specialists have completed the process equipment installation in the engineering building and have prepared it for commissioning. Clean rooms in the test bench and testing building have been handed over for equipment installation. The installation of utility lines and finishing work are nearing completion. All construction and installation work in the injector building is scheduled to be completed by early May.
Artyom Wilhelm, Head of Koltsovo SU under the JSC MSU-90 Branch:
«Our team are honoured to be part of such a significant project. Today, we work on all utility systems: water supply, sewerage, refrigeration, and gas. Last year, we completed work on 10 buildings, seven of which are already close to 100% completion. Commissioning is nearing completion, with the final phase scheduled for April»
