Accelerator Science
There are around one hundred
scientists and engineers working in the Cockcroft Institute in the
area of accelerator science and technology at Daresbury in a
collaborative venture between the STFC and the Universities of
Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester, with half of these being from
STFC and half from the universities.
This critical mass connects to a world wide network of tens of
thousands working in accelerator science.
It is the intention of the Cockcroft Institute to grow the
numbers of personnel working on accelerator science in the near
future through a development of its ASTeC and other university
groups and in collaboration with the SRS groups, thereby
augmenting Daresbury's existing total of some 10,000 person years
experience in this area.
