Department of Accelerators (DA)

The main research activities of the department focus on the simulations of beam dynamic parameters during the acceleration and extraction processes, as well as on the development and design of target systems for various types of irradiations and experiments. The department operates three accelerators – the TR-24 and U-120M cyclotrons located in Řež, and the MT-25 microtron located in Prague, outside the Řež area – along with cyclotron-based fast neutron sources with quasi-monoenergetic and broad spectra (lithium and beryllium target stations).
