Reaching new heights in laser-accelerated ion energy

A laser-driven ion acceleration scheme, developed in research led at the University of Strathclyde, could lead to compact ion sources for established and innovative applications in science, medicine and industry.

IFMIF RFQ: an accelerator for a neutron source to test structural resistance of materials

On 21 April 2016 in Rokkasho (Japan) a ceremony was held for the installation of the low energy section of a very powerful accelerator (LIPAc) representing a prototype for the International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility (IFMIF). The aim of IFMIF, and of the LIPAc accelerator, is the production of very high intense fluxes of high energy monoenergetic neutrons which are needed for testing the structural resistance of materials to be employed in Nuclear Fusion Reactors.

Report on the Future Circular Collider Week 2016

The Future Circular Collider [FCC] Week 2016 took place in Rome (Italy) from 11 to 15 April 2016 and drew more than 450 participants from science and industry. The study was kicked off in 2014 as a response to a request of the European Strategy for Particle Physics and today embraces 74 institutes from 26 countries.

IPAC’16

IPAC’16, the Seventh International Particle Accelerator Conference, will be held in Busan, Korea from 8-13 May 2016. IPAC brings together accelerator scientists, engineers, students and industrial vendors from across the globe to share ideas and exchange information on the cutting edge of accelerator science and technology.

IPAC’14

The 5th International Particle Accelerator Conference [IPAC’14] will take place from 15 to 20 June 2014 in Dresden, Germany.

The conference is organised by the European Physical Society Accelerator Group [EPS-AG] and is a forum for important stakeholders working in the field of particle accelerators to discuss the latest developments in research and technology. IPAC’14 marks the return of this important conference to Europe since its second edition IPAC’11. The conference…
