Instrumentation

The experimental infrastructure at LIP is directly related to our research activities. In order to push analytical capabilities towards their physical limits we design, construct, and build our instruments ourselves. Based on research connected with ETHZ Ph.D. projects we are able to explore new directions in instrumental developments, optimize our analytic procedures, and improve existing instruments. As a result, we have at LIP the highest density of AMS instruments, experimental platforms, and accelerator facilities dedicated for applied research in the World. This includes the two traditional particle accelerators, the 1.7 MV Tandetron that is exclusively used for materials sciences and the “good old” 6 MV EN Tandem that can provide high energetic heavy ion beams.
