accelerator R&D

Accelerator R&D (Research and Development) involves developing advanced particle accelerators, which are large machines that speed up tiny particles like electrons and protons to very high energies. This research aims to improve existing technologies, develop new methods for accelerating particles, and explore innovative applications such as medical treatments, materials science, and fundamental physics discoveries. By pushing the boundaries of what's possible with particle acceleration, R&D helps us better understand the universe, improve technology, and address scientific challenges. It requires collaboration among scientists, engineers, and industry to create more efficient, powerful, and versatile accelerators.
