Funded Activity Summary
X-LAB beamline: accelerating applied research with tunable electron beams. This project aims to realise the first ultra-compact particle accelerator in Australia by adding a beamline and user end-station to the X-LAB. The aim is to transform technology which originated for particle physics into a facility producing tailored electron beams for both proof-of-principle high-tech applications and research. Applications range from physics to biology and from industrial processing to cultural heritage. This cutting-edge technology is 5-8 times smaller than existing systems, so the project aims to catalyse research which could transform societal applications, leading long-term to smaller, lighter accelerators for use in high-tech factories, hospitals, ports and mining sites, comprising a market worth $6.4B per year.Funded Activity Details
