Research

Research activities at LIP are highly interdisciplinary focusing on the three major directions: basic ion beam physics, instrumental developments, and the application of long-lived radioisotopes in Earth and environmental studies. Beyond that, the expertise of LIP scientists is requested by many researchers from various fields enabling the laboratory to establish sustainable and value-added collaborations with LIP scientists. The combination of the cutting-edge technology with the broad and diverse knowledge of LIP scientists are the basis for our state-of-the-art research program conducted internally as well as with external costumers and collaborators. A priority mission of applied research at LIP is to provide high-quality data sets in order to lay the basis for a significant contribution to important scientific missions such as the reconstruction of past solar variability, the quantification of warm water input into the Arctic Ocean, or the dynamics of glaciers in the Alps, to name but a few.

Our annual reports are a nice compilations of LIP research activities conducted internally or in collaboration with national and international research groups.
