Accelerator Science
With a heritage of over four
decades of world-leading accelerator science, Daresbury has built
up a wealth of scientific and technological expertise providing
enormous transferability into other scientific and industrial
sectors.
Accelerator science, driven by its motivation to reach highest
energies, smallest distance and fastest time scales using
charged and neutral particles, laser, radio-frequency and
other microwave technology, has driven the development of
Daresbury's expertise in areas with potentially wide scale
industrial application, such as: superconducting microwave
technology, ultrafast lasers and ultrafast switching, x-ray
detectors, high resolution x-ray imaging, novel medical imaging and
terahertz technology, millimetre wave technology and optics
and optronics.
