Particle Accelerators at Huddersfield.mp4

The University of Huddersfield and Siemens join forces to develop a new generation of particle accelerators for science and technology.

The University of Huddersfield's IIAA is the first UK Institute dedicated to accelerator applications, and the industrial-academic collaboration between Siemens and the University of Huddersfield will facilitate the development of innovative, smaller and hence less expensive and less complicated accelerator systems to address society's needs.

The goal to position the UK at the cutting edge of accelerator development was recently confirmed by a significant investment from the UK government in the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) by Prime Minister David Cameron.

The IIAA will also be the host of the Medium Energy Ion Source (MEIS) surface characterisation facility that will be relocated from STFC Daresbury and bring scientsts from across the UK and the globe to carry out research in Huddersfield.
